no surprise, still I'm curious what the 'smouldering crater' looks like.

The technique works in 8.6 and my desktop arranger is much faster.
Works in 9.2.2 too. But X is the problem. Can't quite recall: I think it
compiled ok, but errorred complaining about [unknown?] types when run.
Blah-blah, whatever; probably didn't mean anything helpful, but was quite
clear it wouldn't cooperate.

it's OK under 8.6, do you need 'desktop'?...
It's umambiguous. This is not only easier on the reader ["who is 'it'?"],
but also very often on AS as well [which despite its flexible syntax is
often seriously retentive about even minor semantics]. I've not checked to
see if X requires it, but I'd put it in regardless.

sorry :)...retiring to cave to script exclusively for 8.6 in raw code.
Don't blame you... many happy days did I spend under 8.6/AS1.3.7, where the
bugs were fewer and known. :)
