Bingo! rset is indeed modified instead the loop, and I did have a
test to exit, but I put
if found then break end
at the *beginning* of the loop (where I wouldn't forget it).
Moving that line to the *end* of the for loop fixes the bug.
Thanks! I knew I was being stupid. (I have been doing nothing but
this program for two days straight.)
