Ah!  '(z)' takes care not to split within quotes.  Sheesh, why doesn't 
the manual just say that? 'taking into account' is a bit vague.  I'm 
never sure about anything when it comes to splitting, but I'd have 
expected the '=' to do the 'normal' thing and '(z)' to do something 
'specialized' in some way, but in this case it strikes me that '(z)' is 
doing the 'right' thing.  Anyway '(z)' it must be!  Tx.

I got as far as remembering that there was something I was supposed to 
remember.  :-)  Seriously, there are times when I might use some 
diagnostic or fix received here in a purely ad hoc way, that is, I just 
want to solve some problem right now and I don't retain any lessons cuz 
there's too much going on in my head.  In a more relaxed situation the 
lesson itself is more important that the specific problem.  Yes!  
Remember that what you see is sometimes not an accurate reflection of 
the genuine internal state of a variable, thus, if in doubt, use 
'typeset -p'.  It's one of those 'real world' skills that you never read 
in a book or article.  Also, I take long breaks between coding frenzies, 
during which I often feel I've forgotten 99% of everything I ever knew.
