Kris and Glenn,

Thanks for the ideas, sometimes when thoughts start down the wrong path,
it's difficult to find the way back.

Kris: I always knew there was a good portion of magic inside Pipes, but a
"NewtWord" stage!??
Looks like I'll have to search through the PIPELINES news files again! ;-)

I fiddled with Kris' example for a while, but much as my own attempts did,
it didn't got lost on its own path.

Glenn's example, while more complex, did get much closer.  After a few
tweaks (posted below, with some small changes to the detail file just to
help me spot any missing pieces), it did the trick.

Thanks, guys!
