Neither. :-)

I suppose it did what I told it to do. It just ignores
what it doesn't understand, sort of like the dog here
at my feet.

My point was, I was trying to get it to do a particular
thing, and it wouldn't do it. It took me quite a few
minutes to realize the reason it wasn't working was
that I had accidentally transposed some letters in
a keyword. I know from experience that mis-spelled
commands that don't throw errors are some of the
HARDEST errors to track down in programs. These objects
are not going to make this kind of error any easier
to find.

Happy sleuthing!

David
