Thanks for the answer.  I used to do this, too, and am aware of this
possibility.  I find it kind of clutters up the org file and was happy
to find a way to avoid this.  I will return to this if I need to, but
would prefer to adapt the more elegant way to do it, if there is a
way.

Many thanks again

Rainer
