Yes, Friedhelm, it does. But how come it used to work as a subitem?
And TLI is not ideal because (a) I need to add the year which would be a
problem in a TLI (eg, printing address lists and envelopes), and (b) I
often (as with Arch Graham) have several subitem Birthdays under one TLI.
But that's progress of a sort -- I'll keep playing and see what happens.
