Perfect! That works perfectly for me with Woody and Emacs21.

I did 'cat' on the file to make sure the edits were not left in the clear. thanks for your help, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
