Steve, Yes, the problem was my confusing a lower case l with the number one. When I was taught typing in high school, in the days before personal computers, the l (lower case L) and one (1) could be interchanged. In fact, some typewriters required you to use the l (L) as the one all the time. So, I got in the very bad habit of reading a lower case l as one. George
