Thanks Art; you are always a good Samaritan.  Your comment makes me feel
much better (;^).

There's no arrow.

Bingo!  Also, voila! eureka! oh, happy day! etc., etc.

Yep.  It's just as you say.

What a relief.  Cloning saves my bacon, since I'm not working in a
dust-free environment.  (In fact, my office seems to be a dust hotel.)  The
quick procedure still doesn't work, though.  But I'm very glad to have the
problem solved to this extent.

Once again, my thanks to you and all the others who have helped.

Best regards,
John
