RE: LINK856 display problem in Silver

[<kjohnson at library dot caltech dot edu>]

Thanks, everyone.  

Yes,  I did contact the help desk, and just heard back from them.  The
problem has been moved up to Software Engineering for further analysis.
And from your responses, it's obviously not just us.

In the meantime, I'll add the "$nbsp".  For those of you who were
wondering, <nothing> meant I was putting nothing after the = sign.
