Could I put in a request as a lowly user to keep the wording? For 
various reasons I haven't used any of the above commands (still on 9.0R 
with default packages and tinderbox before that) and there have been a 
lot changes recently. Keeping the wording helps those of us who aren't 
yet up to speed with the new systems.

thanks

Chris
