Thank you very much for that.  Again, I wouldn't have figured that out on my own.  I only email the list as a last resort.

I'd also like to add, although I'm probably going to have my head chopped off, that I did read the file.. many times in the past, several times today in fact, but unfortunately my brain did not interpret the operator description to mean that one need add += for multi-valued attributes (much like all my questions before did not seem obvious to me, though I suppose they are to others); my brain was sidetracked thinking I needed another attribute type in the dictionary file.  Anyway, I hope at least this email will prevent others from asking the same silly question.
