I just looked at your code. That is not going to adapt I think because
there is nothing in TS to do it automatically yet. You can see it done by
hand
in TS ex11. I am slowly marching through getting all this stuff hooked up.
I will get to TS hopefully by the end of the year.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
