Thanks for this suggestion!  I read a bunch of documentation claiming
it was actually highly nonportable to scare people off, but I was never
totally clear on what features weren't portable.  I will try this approach
and see if it is simpler for this application.  I am, of course, also
still open to other suggestions.
