Okay, I admit I'm not 100% sure that 4.0 did, but I *believe* it
did.  And, hey, I've been wrong before! But only having one machine,
I don't have the luxury of going back to 4.0 and finding out for sure.
So, since Lars has no reason to prevaricate about this issue, I'm going
to assume he's correct and this is something that I just noticed now.
But I sure would appreciate it if someone on 4.0 could verify he's
correct <g>
