            The orange is just comments - they do nothing.

            I didn't test it before posting - because now I can 'fix' it for a grand fee! 😄
            Gimme the error message and a wallop of money!

                        a polygon with n sides

                        a quad is a 4-gon

                        a tri is a 3-gon

                        etc....
