Right as usual Roman. The next puzzle is why it was working without
that previously. I had 'IN' declared globally and it was fine. I'll
restore a backup and probe that. Mind, it's better to have IN local
anyway, so maybe I should let sleeping dogs lie. I don't understand
the difference between '-A' and '+A' maybe that's part of it -- the
global array might not be overwritten cleanly or something. But local
is best anyway. Thank you Sensei.
