Hey thanks! that was exactly it!
The reason it was working on other servers was it was conversational - always preceded by a space - this was just testing with no space in front. Duh!
Thanks again! I've been a user about forever (almost all of it paid), but I lost all my years of settings recently because my backup wasn't backing up "Program Files", assuming nothing kept settings in there any more.
So I'm starting over. thanks again - that was a big help.
