Thanks for taking the time to investigate this further.  I will
certainly need a more complicated parser then.  I have to support the
full ADL specs. both 1.4 and 2.0.

This is an open source project so if anyone wants to help out with a
health care application framework, the help would be very welcome. :-)

about the project then please email me directly or join the project list
at SF.

Therefore my simple example is just that, simple.  I have already run
into coding several Optional sections.  I must figure out today how to
properly exploit Forward(). :->
