I'm convinced on both counts. I'm still not happy with the fact that your diff leads the manpage to repeat itself. Here's a deal: if I can come up with a diff that I prefer over yours by next Tuesday, I'll send it. Otherwise, we'll assume I can't do any better than you can and use yours. ;-) And yes, if I come up with something, I'll pass it by you for approval. Ciao, Sheldon.
