[Xymon] group analysis test to multiple hosts

I've got a list of 30 hosts that all have the same name except a 
different number at the end.  I'd like to test only those hosts for a 
running service, but I've tried the following entries in my analysis.cfg 
file with no success.  It either applies the test to every host in my 
hosts.cfg file, or it doesn't test any of them.  I can't seem to get it 
dialed in to only test the specific hosts that I want it to.

I've tried this HOST wildcard, but it applies the test to every host, no 
matter what name it is.
*HOST=Upper-Lab-PC***
**    SVC    SoftwareName*

I tried DISPLAYGROUP because the list of hosts are defined in a 
'group-only' list in my hosts.cfg file, but this didn't apply the test 
to any hosts at all.
*DISPLAYGROUP="Upper Lab Desktops"*
*    SVC    SoftwareName*

I could of course test each host individually, but that seems a bit 
ridiculous when the man page says I can group them.  Suggestions?
