Heh.  Yes, thanks, Eric.  I'm not crazy enough to try to bootstrap my way
through 900+ variables, but that sets the scale of the challenge for me.

Very good suggestion!  I just used C-c C-l to add a link, and, of course, it
worked perfectly (as did the manual edit suggested by Nick D.).  I note that
by my count there are no fewer than 1612 "org*" functions ;-)
