Aha!  Thanks to you and Eric for pointing this out.  I missed that footnote (and 
I should have tried escaping with a backslash anyway, since that's the solution 
to so many things).

I'd been looking at the documentation on the web site, as I usually do, but the 
pointer to the info page got me looking at that.  I'm going to start referring 
to it first and see how that goes.

Bill
