Unfortunately it still has that rather curious aspect of not
taking you seriously when you ask for N (yes, N) cells. It is a
V&R function and we thought people loved that part...
(In fact yesterday I was using it and when I asked for 5 cells I
got 6. For 6 I got 7. For 7 I got ... 14!)
I could fix it, of course.
