This is why I post diagrams and graphics to web pages.  This is getting
tough for me to follow with just text descriptions, and a picture can be
worth a thousand words.

But even then, I *still* misinterpreted Nils' initial comments and original
diagram that he showed to me...and I went down a wrong path. Then he posted
another diagram and some more text.  Bingo...a faint light is coming on.

Diagrams help greatly in this situation.  New terms to lots of folks on
this list, geometric relationship, etc.  (And not everyone is a native
English speaker on this list! ;-)  Diagrams help reduce the ambiguity.
