Thanks.  That works (but see below).  Thought I'd tried it, but I guess
I must have fumble-fingered something.

Be that as it may, when I issue the specified commands I now get a
string of warnings:

> **** WARNING: .setopacityalpha is deprecated (as of 9.53.0) and will

The resulting demo.pdf looks OK, but I'd rather not get those warnings.
The exhortation "See .setfillconstantalpha/.setalphaisshaSpe for the
improved solution" is pretty meaningless to me. No idea where the directory .setfillconstantalpha is located, or if it even exists.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

cheers,

Rolf
