Thanks, Ken.  It took me a couple of years to figure it out :) but I know how 
to make different books appear.  That’s a great hint for vim though.

I’m a real knucklehead and dummy when it comes to networking.  I think I know 
something and then when I try to use it, I realized I didn’t know what I 
thought I knew.  When this happens and I’m building packages, I develop an 
almost compulsive “non-deviation” standard from the book.  Then if something 
doesn’t do what I think it should, it’s my error.  I think I know that packages 
change from book to book and that one package won’t build without the updated 
version of another package.  Usually I’m paying close enough attention that I 
see the version changes, but………

That’s what happened here.  In hindsight, I asked the wrong question.  I knew 
it was probably true that 7.6 builds fine on 7.5 and should have inquired about 
that.  I didn’t, however, and, once again, you and Bruce have combined to teach 
me something.

I didn’t even think to look there.  This is a resource I need to remember.  
Thanks.
