Thanks. That works. Bit kludgey but it’s okay. Won’t be replacing BibDesk 
anytime soon with Zotero; too many bizarre things in Zotero.

Tried Better BibTex too; because I added several of my Amazon targets to Zotero 
before installing the zot2Bib plugin. Won’t be using that either as its export 
to BibTeX format is pants. zot2Bib does a better job of splitting up Zotero 
entries.
