I think I had tried that, but will try it again.

I have also (so far) gotten email responses from Richard Siegel of THINK
(rs4u+@andrew.cmu.edu), who suggested the Enter key, but only if using
the old Mac keyboard; and from Ken Hancock (isle@eleazar.dartmouth.edu),
who suggested Cmd-Shift-3.

I haven't tried any of these yet, but will do so soon.

Thanks to all three of you for the help!
