You are beginning to enter the realms of Lumpers and Splitters. I suggest that
you look in the Archives (URL at end of every email) and search for these
phrases (one at a time!). In general a lumper will have the minimum detail in

Bruce,
As I understand it, you have the two the wrong way round! Your first example
