Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know why I have trouble remembering at

which point various objects come into existence.

This was actually something I had already tried, but had gotten an error for

some reason. I've put the code back where it belongs and get this

traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not sure I understand what's going on here. Why is it choking on that

parameter?

Thanks,
