Right-- pretty close to the language from the wiki entry I
was referring
to in my question...  But my problem is figuring out how to
use it in
context.

As is, here is my language which presently echoes ALL
comments (approved
and unapproved) onto the page:

#foreach ($entryComment in $entry.getComments())
<div class="content">Left on
$entryComment.getDateAsFormat('EEE, d MMM
yyyy HH:mm') by 
#if ($entryComment.getAuthorEmail() &&
$entryComment.getAuthorEmail().length() > 0) 
<a
href="mailto:$entryComment.getAuthorEmail()">
$entryComment.getAuthor()</
a> 
#else $entryComment.getAuthor()
#end 
#if ($entryComment.getAuthorURL() &&
$entryComment.getAuthorURL().length() > 0) &nbsp;
[<a href="$entryComment.getAuthorURL()"
rel="nofollow">$entryComment.getAuthorURL()&l
t;/a>] 
#end

If I incorporate David's suggested language into my
already-existing:
"#foreach ($entryComment in
$entry.getComments())" loop, I still get all
approved and unapproved comments.

Same result if I put the suggested language verbatim in a
separate loop
prior to my existing language. 

If I merely replace my loop with the suggested code
(correcting for
wrapping), the page is a white screen.

I know this owes to my state of Vortex challenge.

Thanks,
Paul
