Thanks!  That helps.  

While we're talking about citations, I'm stuck on something else.  If I run "C-c C-x @" to insert a citation into a file, I'm shown a list of bibliography entries and I can go up and down and hit RET on any I chose.  That works well.  But---the prompt says, "Key (empty input exits)."  What makes empty input?  I can't figure it out.  I've never seen that phrase before.  I can't make it exit properly---I either keep adding citations or C-g or DEL cancels it---so I can't make the function work.  If anyone knows, I can try making a patch to make it clearer.

Thanks,

Bill
