You meant to "drop" rather than "take" to leave all but the first record in the file. But it's an elegant style to divert the record to process towards the end of the pipeline (so you don't forget to keep the remainder). And real plumbing would be to handle them all, not just one of them (but that's beyond the question). | Rob
