Also somebody earlier mentioned that we would be redefining, which
has a different kind of ugliness, so I'd agree with the code structure
of what you sent out (which has been queued on 'pu').
My earlier question "don't we want to make sure 'C:' is at the
betginning of the string?" still stands, though. I do not think I
futzed with your regexp in the version I queued on 'pu'.
Thanks.
