Thanks, Scott, you're right.  (I shouldn't post when I'm frantically 
working on other things!)

But, "single quoted strings aren't parsed"?  I'm not familiar with 
such a rule in either PHP or JavaScript.  I thought single & double 
quotes were interchangeable in both languages.  Please elucidate.

Cheers,
