It is a very good idea, and I will incorporate it into the next release. > > I have attached a patch file with the change to the xplor script. > Out of curiosity, is there another way to do this? not a good way- it requires rsh access. Your patch is a definite improvement. regards-- Charles -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFDndr/PK2zrJwS/lYRArbbAJ0RAxQ5cDeTSueuhctle/wRy4atIgCeNZkc q0Eveorg1LH3NMTl1+tBuz8= =zagt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
