Thank you Anthony- U nailed it.
But can I say GRRRRR!?
I had tried that but copy/pasted the lines so the placeholder still had an
= to output and I'm guessing that was what it barfed on....
Is there a good, short/sweet reference for format of single vs double
quotes, parentheses vs brackets? I notice differences in the answers above
and would like to understand convention better.
Again, thank you!
