Thank you for your clear and to-the-point reply. I'll
make a /much/ shorter response.

For some reason I find brevity very difficult to attain.
But I'll discipline and restrain my verbosity.

------- (My quirky use of capitals in code comes from my opinion that
reserved and predefined words should all start with lowercase, and
user-defined should all start with uppercase, because this will easily
and elegantly prevent a host of name-collision problems when things
like programming languages are upgraded with new labels.)
