John, I have no idea why Paul does it that way, but I know I appreciate
it. The few times that the ToSub parm has to remain as originally sent
means that using factor 1 & 2 is an unusual occurance.  Translated: "Look
it up yet again", and "explain it to every newbie."  Actually, I am not
sure why the ToSub ever has to stay as sent...?
