Is it the simultaneous lifting up/back/in with the turning shoulder which keeps the club moving down the target line?
I'm freaked by this, since I know the point (one of the points) of RFP is to keep the flying wedge in place and not move the club back with the shoulders in a "v", "down the line...".
Continued thanks. And yes, I will be posting like a maniac for awhile as I'm going to see Ted aka Yodasluke in August and want to minimize my beat-down as much as possible...

Sounds like when you execute your RIGHT FOREARM PICKUP, your club goes a little outside at the start of your takeaway. This is actually(usually) better than whipping the club to the INSIDE.
One way, however, to work on this, would be to use a mirror. Draw a line on the mirror with a dry erase marker(or use tape), on the same angle as the club you wish to practice with. Draw the line at the ADDRESS angle of that club. Now set up where the shaft and the line are covering each other.
Using this aid... you will now be able to see the amount of RIGHT FOREARM FAN, and/or LEFT WRIST TURN you need to get the club going UP that angle. With most people, the club will move off that angle at about waist high, and continue moving UP, but be OUTSIDE AND PARALLEL to the original shaft plane to the TOP or END. There are variations here, but this would be a good place to start. (Turn and/or Fan takes the club IN, and the RIGHT FOREARM PICKUP takes it UP... blend these perfectly together, and you have it.)
