There's a really good reason things were done like that. lemme think...um... I got a kick back from the manufacturers of the letters s, u, d, o and the character '#'?? If so, the check never arrived. No clue. You are completely right, your diff has been applied, I have no idea why I did that, unless someone else contributed the sysmerge part (I don't recall, too lazy to look), and even then it doesn't explain why I left it there. Slapping a "sudo" in front of everything they contribute to the FAQ is some people's style, but not mine. And yes, the # in front is really annoying, since much of upgrade46.html (including that line) is intended to be copy/pasted. This is not true of most of the rest of the FAQ, where I generally DON'T want people to copy/paste blindly and ignorantly. (no, I'm not going back and changing upgrade45.html and upgrade44.html, I usually only do that for really severe errors, I'd rather that the translators work on current stuff that matters, not old stuff) Nick.
