Many thanks Tim. That does it exactly, is half the length of what I
laboriously waded through swamps to cobble together, and doesn't have
lines which don't work as expected.

I'm sure all my helpgrepping and archive diving was good for my soul,
but the syntax which works is in a dialect I don't grok. Looks like I'll
have to try to find out where it fits into the normal/ex/whatever
universe. One day.
