To avoid this, I added it to my make.conf. When I *really* want to have something in the world file, I can either add it myself or use --select on the command line to add it. Result, shouldn't be anything in the world file that shouldn't be there. I sometimes wonder why that isn't the default way. I guess because it would confuse folks for a bit and because it has always been that way. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
