As always, thanks to all for these excellent working suggestions.

I have never coded RuleDelayed[] because I do not understand it well
enough. The examples in the doc are still opaque for me. But one of
the examples for this in the documentation does mention a specific
behavior relating to Module[]. Like with lots of my stuff, the code
works now and months from now, I will probably understand why
completely!

Regards..
