Hi Mark,
That's what I was beginning to suspect. Regardless of where it's "supposed"
to go, I'll ultimately have to put it where the trap work will allow. I've
got a little room to play with and just thought I'd fill another hole in my
education and get it as close as I could to "standard" at the same time. HA! 

Ah well, looks like my education will still whistle in the wind, and the
lyre will go where I darn well put it, whether it likes it or not.  %-)

Thanks, 
 Ron
