Robert,

   Thanks for your suggestion. A bit of research on the web taught me that my
first edition needs replacing. The second addition is a complete re-write of
the first edition and I bought a used copy via amazon and downloaded a PDF
version from O'Reilly's web site. The third addition apparently adds PHP and
a more current version of Java to the second editions. Since I don't write
in either of those languages, the second edition looks to be what I need to
read.

   While I was at it, I purchased a copy of the second edition of O'Reilly's
sed & awk book to replace my copy of the first edition.

   Thanks for the nudge.

Rich
