Yes, I knew about that; I was just thinking which would be more work,
or less work. ^_^
And how about . . .

And thanks for the programming tips. I really appreciate it. But:

. . . is only "obvious" to people who are trained in the particular
skill of programming. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on
one's philosophical inclination) the world has become extremely
specialized, and bodies of knowledge have depth that the ancients
could hardly have imagined, not to even mention the now-very-deep
bodies of knowledge that never even existed not so long ago.
The difference between someone like you (who, I believe, has a Ph.D.
in computer science) and someone like me (who has zero training) is
simply a huge difference. Moreover, it is a difference that the
highly trained specialist often fails to remember to take into
account, because they are so knowledgeable about their own specialty
that they have great difficulty any longer imagining that there are
people out there who do not know the absolute beginning fundamentals
that are so second nature to the specialist that he or she no longer
even bothers to think much or worry about them. But we are out here,
and we greatly outnumber you. ^_^
I just thought the use of "read carefully" and "obvious" were a bit
harsh. If I had claimed any coding knowledge at all, I would
understand your choice of these words. But when writing your help
documents, please be aware that to many readers (not to all, of
course, but to many, and probably to the majority) very little, if
anything, about computer code is "obvious".
And one can read something "very carefully", but if it is missing
information that the writer assumes the reader already knows, reading
"very carefully" even 1,000 times may not help much, because there is
a hole in the knowledge that acts like an invisible, but always open,
trapdoor. You can't get from "here" to "there" until that trapdoor is
first located, and then closed.
Anyway, you located and closed that one for me, so you won't have to
answer this type of question from me again, or from anyone else who
happened to read the thread. ^_^
