OK, I found it.  Thanks.  The word "Subelement" was missing from its title.
So that's fixed now.

That's a good idea.  I originally wrote the software the way I taught a
class - one subelement at a time.  But you're right that it would help
to allow more than one as you're getting ready.  I accept the suggestion.
I don't yet have an estimate how much work it'll take - some code may
need to be reorganized.  It may be a while.
