Thanks, Magnus.  On the "why do it differently", a few reasons.

First, I didn't know that that was the conventional method; it's just what
I ended up with.  I guess that I should be pleased that what I ended up
with was conventional!

Second, this is a learning exercise.  If I can learn other ways of
performing the task, or gain insight into the language in the process of
trying, that's the point of the exercise.

Finally, if there was a more concise way of doing it and I was missing it,
I wanted to know what it was.

Thanks again!
