Thanks Bob, I appreciate the inputs which confirm what I concluded and tried with success. What is evidently not in the documentation is any reason why the value != 1 would not be allowable. In the context of "everything in Mathematica is an expression" it seems to me that "not equal to 1" is a valid expression that is, from a user point of view, a more logical way to express difference from the only tested value (which as you pointed out) is 1. I raise this only in the hope that, if my point is reasonable, WRI might consider this minor improvement in a future release. Cheers ...
