No, rather than spending time searching out and trying things myself I 
was taking advantage of the always very helpful nature of this group to 
get advice from people who already knew the answers.  (In payback, I try 
to respond on those relatively rare occasions where I may know an 
answer.)

So, far, Interpolate as suggested by Bob Hanlon and others seems to work 
just fine for my needs, as well as being very easy to use.
