I tested with a copy that lacked the `[]' brackets... and in that case it Does the capitalization but ignores the spaces. By the time I saw that I'd made that oversite... I figured I'd already looked dumb enough... and didn't post a correction. Learning this has been like many new bits of knowledge that come my way... first I thrash around with it... making every mistake humanly possible and finally settle down with a new tool that works and that I understand well enough to get use from it. Thanks for your patience.
