Hi Mitch,
Thanks for the reply. I tried double-clicking, as you suggested, and
that didn't work right off. However, I clicked about 20 times in
succession, and that seemed to do the trick. Ironically, I could have
sworn that I tried that before but it didn't work.
Now, I just tried to see if I could change the pattern again, and once
again, it's stuck. Hmmm....
