Thanks, Dave. I'm using over a dozen unique handlers for success and for
error. I never considered defining a single handler for each, so thank you.
(I've mentioned I'm a novice, right?) That approach would work better for
error handling, but even in many of those instances I'm doing something
unique. So it's not going to solve this tiny little problem for me.
But, since it looks like the problem is caused by my inexpert programming
skills, and that there isn't a way to exclude the error and success entries
in the function pulldown, I'll consider this question to have been
satisfactorily answered.
Thanks, Dave. And thanks, BBedit.
