Thanks for the quick response.
I think the impulse to clean up the code
by gathering the related optionVars into an array
was a good one...
but I'm thinking the overhead of accessing them,
not so much the time it will take the computer to process them,
as the loss of clarity in the function of the code,
weighs against it.
Unless there is some limit on the total number of optionVars
I ought to be concerned about...
