Ok, here's my problem, but I don't know how to get it right.  If I do  
the above, the space in the Name field gets split into 2 lines, so  
apparently a "for" loop doesn't consider it a whole line using it  
this way.  Grrr....

I could awk/sed the spaces into underscores, and then do the opposite  
to get the spaces back -- but there MUST be an easier way.

This might be fun if I wasn't so under the gun...
