dam... so simple, I don't know how I missed it. Many, many thanks! I'm guessing the reason why is that the OS needs a reference to a string containing a non-zero value, and not an actual integer. (incidentally I had also tried `\1` thinking it was the same thing, but this complained that Can't coerce readonly REF to string... It makes much more sense now.)	[reply] [d/l]
