I'm no more likely to get it right when prompted than I was before I hit 'enter' on the command in the first place. Less likely in fact because if I expect to have a 2nd chance I won't think much about it before hitting enter and then I'll answer y automatically to the prompt because that's what I do every time. > Ever hit send in an email client only to notice something wrong with the > email as it whizzes off? No, I've learned to look before I hit send. The things that go wrong are the things you can't see, like where you have a mix of line endings and auto-wraps, or the things you don't catch no matter how many times you look. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
