Many thanks, j_hoff, for your helpful repy (and, as always, to
Rugxulo(R), who seems to have become my virtual guardian angel, always at my shoulder at the ready to help me through the rough spots).

I ran the SET command as you advised, and that did the trick!

Thanks again to all of you on this helpful, no, I should say "indispensable," forum,
