Thanks Dave for this other dimension viz using the JOIN FUNCTION as
complement to reverse the process. Your example as well as Leith Ross'
settles the way the SPLIT is used. It is a pity, as I remarked earlier
that as a function, the Split should have very low utility rating. I
would appear that for what it accomplishes, there are probably
handful of better ways to explore. Little wonder, the Help file note
waxed darn little about it. The good is that it broadens the choices w
have, anyhow (<g).

Thanks again, Dave
