Bless you, Alan. Not only is your description great, but it caused me to start to read your tutorial. Bingo. I think I now understand the conceptual problem I had at the core of this. You actually make it clear in your answer in this thread, but I was so bogged down that I didn't take it in. A function is a sub-routine and not a program. That's it. So simple and I have been stuck on this for weeks! Now to start again! When, of course, I may get stuck again. But I think next time I am stuck on something apparently trivial, I'll ask sooner. And the descriptions that you and Steven have given me of how to do it make a lot more sense than the ones I was struggling with. Heartfelt thanks to Alan and Steven.
