Ah!  Thank you, that does what I need.

However I'm still a little confused, when you say "it's happening
because of the warning message", am I getting a warning message?  If
so, what is it? ... and can I stop it?

Are you saying that "source digraphs.rc" is causing it?

for confused/confusing replies. :-)
