Thank you very much for your explanation, Sara. I got my code working,
but I must confess I wasn't confident it was the preferred approach
and I wanted to make sure I was learning the recommended approach.
I've taken to heart the many examples in your book where you bring up
the most obvious/likely method to do something in the extension world
only to find out it's not the preferred/correct approach.
Thank you very much for the clarification.

P.S. - Your book has aged exceedingly well, and it's a great reference
for people like me trying to find their way around the internals :)
Nice writing style!
