Okay - stupid me.

Yes - I read the error message; however, I thought I had it registered already 
in a number of other threads that I have.
Upon further review, I discovered found that I only did so in some private 
threads in a couple other programs.
Comparatively, I have a number of other things that I do register in most 
everything - so it was a fair assumption I did this one too.
That was why I had the original - I thought it was already being registered some 
where else and was not in this thread for some reason.

Apologies - grep'ing code for verification
