-hup = -3 or -7 or something. I forget the actual number. not having one = -1 or something.
someone else will have the right numbers :) basically it's an argument. so -9 is very samuel l jackson in pulp fiction 'DIE DIE DIE', whereas the default is more james bond villain 'I'm going to invite you to die little process'. -hup is more of a bill cosby 'why don't you pretend to die little process so I can get away with it, but then go and reload' Hen On Fri, 22 Nov 2002, Bill Rising wrote: > On 11/21/02 23:49, Lee Larson wrote > > >On Thursday, November 21, 2002, at 11:41 PM, Ward Oldham wrote: > > > >> Uh, gee . . .
