Ali, this is great! ...I had been tempted to also ask about how 
templates
figure into this, but realized that including this in my question 
would be
over complicating the question, so it remained unasked.

But, now I have this part answered as well.  I very much 
appreciate the
mind-reading tricks going on here on the forum!

Thank You, and Best Regards,
