I *thought* that that was in there somewhere, but I didn't see it when
I  pulled the dictionary page :(  For that matter, the one I just
pulled didn't look a lot like what I was reading earlier.

Yes, that did it.  I had the item del, but had used "ascending" in the
second line (probably from a prior misread of the dictionary years ago
:)  )

thanks
