So I've learned; but, as a Grumpy, I couldn't think of any reason why
any rational person would want to use it. I hadn't given it much
thought since I was previously pulling them out by a timezone rule.
Out of curiosity - I did ponder your rule, but does not
MID$(h$,LEN(k$+":")+1) leave d$? I had thought to use d$, but was
unsure when that leading space was added, and where the TAB was in
relation to it - whether the generating of d$ would strip it off or
not. I haven't got one to look at...
