And further, Chris, when I said I don't know what it was a total
of, my implication was that the word total *by itself* is *not*
enough.  You have to say what it is a total *of*, in the name,
for it to be clear.  IMO, that would apply in *any* context
where it was not absolutely clear that there could only be one
thing totaled.  And a zpt repeat definately does not fall into
that category.  One could perhaps argue that it *should*, but
that would require redisiging the whole batch interface, I think.

I think you are outvoted on this one <wry grin>.
