Hello, Michael.  Thanks for the reply!

I'm just "hyphenated" (is the term "anal-retentive" hyphenated?), and 
wondered if patchwork was having difficulties :)
I'll go on about my business, "fret no more", and "endeavor to persevere".

I give thanks to "all y'all" for your efforts!

PS: Core190 update was very smooth!
