I was up till 4 am with this sucker trying to figure it out-  I thought i lost my mind/ screwed it up somehow.  I guess it's nice to know it really wasn't me.  Though, I AM sad R is messing up-  first time in over 3 years, so I guess it isn't so bad.  But timing couldn't have been worse, as I have a conference coming up.

Thanks very much, Duncan!  I am going to give that a whirl tomorrow!
