Line for the server...

On the occasion of this thread: Is capitalization in the names of returned
results really advisable? - e(Xmfx_dydx)- may be used less frequently, but I
remember being bitten by -r(var)- as opposed to -r(Var)- after -summ-. What
is the benefit of a capitalized "V" here?

There were unbalanced parantheses in my code. Thanks to Kit Baum for
pointing this out!
