Well ! !   Egg all over my face, again. 

I returned to JARTS summary page, filled in the squares and 
received the same number - lower than what WriteLog calculates. 
Then it dawns on me. What happens if I insert the 'Call Areas' count 
in the multiplier column. That done, the two numbers agree.

The hobby is getting more complicated everyday  -- or is it me?

Tks to those that showed concern.
