The "-" being typed on the command line is not an ASCII hyphen (\u002D), but is some other character that looks like a hyphen in the user's current code page. -- Rick Genter Principal Software Engineer Silverlink Communications --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
