OK, I see it now. If I never enter a value in that field, on a 2nd
iteration, the isset() will also evaluate to true. so it does not
matter if I ever enter a value, just the fact that the form returns a
"null" value means the field is actually set for PHP. I guess I can
use the PHP function unset() to delete the variable from the array?

Hmmm back to the drawing board....

This stuff is hard and complicated. :(
