Thanks Robert.

Yes, I realize I was essentially asking "This doesn't work. Why?" without 
reference of any sort. Unfortunately there isn't a delete post button. What 
I was actually looking for was just a known working code snippet. And you 
gave me one. So thanks. I'll give it a shot momentarily.

I had CallCode set to $98 not $8E

Everything else is Identical.
