It worked...I'll be dammed.

Now of course, this begs the question how would I get a textarea to
contain "&lt;" as a literal string of characters and not have it display
a "<", but I don't want rocks thrown at me, so I won't ask.  : )
(actually, I suppose "&amp;lt;" would do it, huh?  What a PITA...lol)
