That's the one. I did think about suggesting all the other commands be removed, but a moment's thought brought me back to the scenario Jon described. I was just suggesting that the way to think of the other subcommands was that they just edited a subsection of the big blob. At least, I found it a useful way of thinking about the problem. (In practice, while I might edit the wad directly [never underestimate the power of a text editor as a systems administration tool] it's more likely that this would be automated. Or maybe even simply exported from a CMDB system.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
