   Hi Alan,   
      
   By 'merge', I assumed it'd consolidate repeats.  But reading what you wrote,   
   I'm guessing the other 'merge' meaning applies; that is, it takes the two   
   nodelists and merge them together. With that understood, I've just taken to   
   use NODELIST instead.   
      
   Thanks
