That was the problem.

>your command line doesn't look right

Yes, although it appeared to be more-or-less working. The improperly
positioned "1" command line page number seemed to "work", but in fact it was
probably being ignored, and since the input file had only 1 page, I had not
noticed that yet. The output was going to the console instead of my output
file. I just needed to add the ">" redirection symbol.

Yep, was planning on doing that, but thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for your speedy and complete reply.
