   This in fact was my intent during a debug session i.e. the [IF] was moved   
   elsewhere temporarily.  I didn't want to delete the original as it was   
   always going to be restored - hence my adding a preceding \ (which didn't   
   work as I had hoped).  I knew what I wanted to do.  It's just that the   
   existing tools didn't allow me.
