Thanks, Timothy, I almost had it before I decided to look back at the list.
My only concern was the creation of data space for each new key, I guess
it's a non issue. ALTHOUGH, if I have repetitions of keys, code below would
obliterate previous key data, would it not? I guess I'm looking at a hash of
lists. hmm....
