Thanks for help from many. Since it turns out I was halfway down it, I chose to continue down that ol' Peter Crawford trail.

Thanks very much for the help, Peter. One last question... where can I find docs on such constructs as put (_all_)(~)? I had never seen them until this thread, I'd like to learn more about them.
