Hi, Chris: I will give your rules a spin and report back--but not today, just in case there's a problem. I have calls today, but I'm clear of them at day's end. Thanks also for not pasting them inline. I had a profound experience of executing a script that I recieved from a very brilliant engineer colleague once. As luck would have it, a mailman reformat of a line break ended up executing: rm -rf $HOME I kid you not. This actually happened to me shortly after I lefft AFB. I took it as spiritual encouragement to put the past behind me and not worry about it anymore! It's funny now. At the time it was rather devestating. So, more news over the weekend, and thank you again for your stellar assistance.
