Thanks Thomas, I didn't know that mysql came with an info file. Donna
was kind enough to send me a really nice framed and broken down html
manual for an old version which I prefer to info. Haven't come across
pinfo before but I'll check it out.
Anybody else interested in a framed and broken down version of the
html manual? If there's any interest I'll mark it up for the latest
3.23 release and make it available if thats OK with the mysql AB
folks, they're welcome to put it on www.mysql.com if they like.
