Then you have never set up guest crypto.  :-)  Unlike you, I have tended 
to have far more comments on LINKs than on MDISKs, since I care more about 
*why* a user is linking rather than *what* is on the disk.

MINIOPT already established the precedent of a statement that adds 
information to the previous statement.  It was my intent to keep that 
model, but provide a more generally useful function.  Further, I most 
especially didn't want to compromise the syntactical integrity of existing 
statements.

And if one has a LINK to an MDISK, and both have COMMENTs, then I expect 
both to be displayed.

As to QUERY MDISK, it could be done of course, but QUERY VIRTUAL has the 
advantage of being able to handle all virtual devices, not just MDISKS.
