In response to "David Park" <djmp at earthlink.net>:
Thanks for your response to my queries, including

That's useful -- and it makes the point that in a situation
like this you have to use the "Sequence" command in front
of the list of options.
But, I'm still surprised there's no way in Mathematic to, in
essence, reset the kernel to its initial default startup state
-- to, in essence, "reload the kernel from disk" or, in essence,
*really* "Remove" everything that's happened since the most
recent startup.
There used to be the "CleanSlate" package to do something
akin to this, but it wasn't actually all that "clean", and I don't
know if it's still around.

But neither of these solves the "turn off Operator Substitution"
problem, do they? -- and that's the aspect that I'm after.

I'd agree with that!
Thanks again.
