Yep. You are correct. I just created this the way
it is because I wanted the user to type in a valid
phone number with area code. So, even though
211) 111-1111 looks a little goofy, it has all the
digits there. I am writing a routine that strips
out all but the numbers and then formats it like
this:
211-111-1111
