Frank:
Thanks for both your and Gary's responses. If I can, I'll try to find
out this weekend if there's power to the "R" connection.
If I need to rewire things (as Gary pointed out) at least it won't come
as a surprise--as so many things have lately:-)
Thanks again to everyone who helped me with this!
Best Regards
David
