Thanks Frank, it works!

Now, could we add that piece of wisdom to the manual *just where it's 
needed*?  The
link you point me to is fine as far as it goes, but I would like to see 
either those flags
listed explicitly, or at the very least a pointer to section 2. 

Currently, the manual does not make it  clear that the flags listed in 
section 2 are
the *only* ones needed.  I thought that I needed to add additional flags 
which were listed elsewhere
but couldn't find in the manual.

I suspect I had a typo in my earlier attempts!  Even so, explicit 
instructions for
confusible users like me would be great.


Best wishes and thanks again to Kenneth
