Thanks to all for quick help on how to clean up troublesome odd characters (don't you wish there was a global search and replace command for dealing with terrorism?), and on copying characters to the command line. I have the latter stuck temporarily just over the keyboard, until I have it memorized, and I have the programs tucked away until I get back to beautiful bucolic Bellingham next week after six months in beautiful bucolic Cambodia. Amazing how the net lets us travel and stay in our favorite communities at the same time!
