THANK YOU for these replies. The "push down" instruction (and "south") makes sense to me. I'm going to go try it now and report back.
ETA: YESSSS that works perfectly. I even wrote "PUSH DISC 'SOUTH'" on the postit inside the case where I track the dates done, because if I don't pick them up for a year sometime I'll forget.
I love VF ... I was feeling soooo stupid about these but I pep-talked myself that out of all of VF, I knew someone else would have had problems with this OR not have had problems but still be kind enough to look at theirs and explain it to me. I LOVE VF. That is all.
