Thanks Rolf.

After I "fixed" the ss line to:

  set ss=*.su%dx;*.mo%dx;*.tu%dx;*.we%dx;*.th%dx;*.fr%dx;*.sa%dx

(to insert the missing fr and the duplicate su) this produced a
"File not found" error with the contents of the ss line after the
filename.....  I'll have to modify the ss line further to obtain
the proper file extension and get back to you.

           Thanks ... Gerald
