Using the "or" operator with filter

[Roger Eller]

Thanks Peter.  That would work fine for a fixed list, or the current 3
items, but if the list grows, I would have to edit the script.  I ended up
using repeat for each, and since even the large list is less than 100
lines, it is done in a few milliseconds.
