There's an item on my TODO list that will allow ``display variable'' so that people can show the values of individual variables in a consistent way. The possible values of ``variable'' will be documented - in much the same way as the output of ``show ...'' isn't. The ultimate objective is to write a tcl based front end that will give you xload-style throughput graphs, connect/disconnect buttons, timeout slide bars etc. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
