I would like to append this to what may be a record number of incorrect scripts on my part. Hugh pointed out in the forums that the floor of 5 is 5, and the ceiling of -5 is -5. These scripts might actually be correct, but I'm not guaranteeing anything at this point... My apologies for the noise, and thank you, list members, for your patience and persistence.
