Thanks, Lorna

It's nice to know it's not (necessarily) incompetence on my part.

I find this problem only a minor annoyance, but mainly because
when I bring up the proper entry screen F3 quickly puts back all
the values I'd entered. I'm just hoping I've caught all the address
tags with census information.
