Yes, I understand.
It's just that the backslashes worked on an earlier version. I'm sure at the
time there were far gnarlier ambiguities that I patted myself on the back
for vanquishing. My self-satisfaction was my downfall. It didn't occur to me
that MS via IE was compensating for my ignorance, thus postponing the
painful object lesson it was apparently my destiny to learn -- about the
true importance of the direction of the slash -- until this time of more
leisurely reflection. And for that, at least, I am grateful.
Again, your help is much appreciated.
