Ah, your analysis better fits the sense I had of the construction and
its relationship to the whole, though I could not puzzle it out
myself.  Thank you!  If you wanted to send me the attachment
directly, I'd sure study it.

I can see I'm going to need to lay my hands on a copy of this book.
Thanks for the full title.  I've got most of the basics of the RK
system down, I think, by ferreting out what I could from the few
books that I've found that employ it.  I need a book now that
explores the system more thoroughly.  This one certainly ought to do
that.  Have you any other recommendations?  Lester's _Grammar and
Usage in the Classroom_ is on my list, based on a list discussion
some time ago, but that's the only other one I know of so far.

Looks like it's time to check out ABE books again  . . .
