Isn't usenet wonderful; I cite one of my favourite programs as an
example, and the author reads my post and gives me advice! Ken,
you're absolutely right that I haven't got the basic functions clear
in my mind: I need to think more about that. Your description of how
you do your includes and excludes is very helpful; I had sort of got
to the point where I recognised that includes and excludes can't go on
indefinitely.

But this has now become positively off-topic so I'll leave it at that.
To write more would be to risk Anno's or Tad's hand to appear out of
the monitor in 3D and hit me on the nose. (With justification ...)
