Hm.  What's an INDEX?  Some abbreviated lookup mechanism?  Don't see it
in the Handbook.

Ah.  Of course.  That explains why nothing's coming.  Ok.

Question on the current vs. RELEASE_4_9_x, though - I'm still on 4.9 &
don't want to upgrade to 4.10, right now.  If I get current ports, won't
there (possibly) be 4.10 dependencies?  Not sure I want that...

Thanx for the info.
