FWIW, note also that the `return "SOMETHING";` [download] statement in the OPed code is unreachable. Yes - I should have pointed out the reason for that line in the question... It was added as part of trying to work out what was actually happening. Having a definite `return` ensured that I was not getting a `return` value from the last evaluated expression. I did try to eliminate some of the possibilities before turning to the Monastery.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
