did NOT realize i'd missed #12, thanks for keeping me on track. i went ahead & re-ran the two requested LL6 commands but haven't looked to compare the previous #11 results, shouldn't be diff., but please check my work to confirm an exact match. not sure i've done is correctly, & i hope it's easy enough to cipher the combo of requests/results:
