I can only be slightly puzzled by your response, since I had no specific desires with respect to the true syntax, other than to understand whatever it might be. In any case, the syntax that you and Viktor posted has been most helpful to my understanding, and I thank you both for that. Thanks also for your patience and understanding. I had a semi-serious head injury at about this time last year and it is entirely plausible that my neurons dedicated to English parsing have not yet fully or properly reconnected (and may perhaps never do so). Fortunately, my ability to properly understand BNF seems to have been unaffected. Regards, rfg
