Thank you for your response. When the -L option is specified, where does the new directory go, if not on the end of the list? In fact, I'd tried your first suggestion prior to posting and I thought I got multiple definitions. But in response to your suggestion, I tried again, and it looks like it did work. So, I must have made a mistake elsewhere. So it looks at this point.
