Dear Richard,
   Professor Ruey Tsay, in 1988, wrote an article in pp 1-20 of Vol 7 of the Journal of Forecasting, entitled "Outliers, Level Shifts, and Variance
Changes in Time Series."  He explains how one should do this.  In answering your question, I used a program that follows his protocol.  
   Regards,
       Bob Yaffee
