There's nothing like a specialist to get terminology right. Thanks again. By the way, I also use Google to
look for terms, and I find it amazingly useful. My problem with this assignment is that it's voluminous and
the customer wants it 'yesterday afternoon,' so I haven't time for Internet searches.
