This doesn't surprise me very much ;-) I have always been secure in the
knowledge that, if I say something stupid, there is always someone
brighter than myself to point it out. Thanks for improving my knowledge.

Your solution is a good one. If the so numbers were different, you would

the path on invocation, right? I seem to have missed several crucial
