Who are you going to believe? Me or that lying man page? > See if your code works. I'm not your code monkey. You mentioned that you didn't know how to do something; I pointed out how. If you are skeptical about my suggestion, why not give me the benefit of the doubt, at least for a minute, and try it yourself? (It was two lines of code!) Your posts often feel like knee-jerk responses. This is a mailing list, and it goes to a lot of people. Instead of replying immediately, you might consider putting in a few extra minutes of work to gather and include actual technical content. For example, you could try the code I posted and say "that doesn't work for me", posting a tiny sample program and its output. Or you could try it, find that it *does* work, and say something like "Apparently that does work, but I'm worried about this line in the man page." Telling me to try it, when you're the one who actually has a use for the code, is just the pinnacle of laziness. Russ
