Not as embarrased as I would have been if I'd sent the message I wrote a few 
hours ago, before reading Jim Lambert's!  I'd written insisting that the only 
solution was to switch to a 'stateful' (ie modifier) key - but read Jim's 
message before mine had actually been sent, and after testing, discarded mine 
with a thoughtful look...
