This is what I've ended up doing, actually. Sometimes when it's not clear
whether I should define the range as, e.g., <-100 or > 100, I try both, and
see which looks more reasonable. This not be the best way to do things, but
it makes the most sense to me.
Thanks again for your response, Jason, and have a great day,
Kamali
