The problem was on my end.  The difference between alphanumeric and
symbolic keywords and the limit on number of symbolic keywords was missing.
 A little moving around of keywords should solve the problem.

That'll add a few more---I'll take a look.
Thanks for the response, and the best editor I've used!
