Ok, you guys have made your point. I'm feeling foolish here, but admit that
since I never used a RW before, I had no idea whether it had a basket of
its own, whether it was built in such a way as to render the basket
unnecessary, heck, I just never thought about it.

Now I've got it, and will do it!
