Mind you, I wasn't being critical, just looking for good excuses for my having failed to figure this out in the first place. ;-) > I am forever struggling to keep posts brief, to be expeditious in > editing them down, to get to the point, to include vital details, and > to somehow avoid being disingenuous. %0 I can relate to that. I learned to type, thinking that such skills would enhance my computing experience, and now I can type like a champ. Not as wonderful as it sounds though, because what happened is that I'm ten times more verbose than I used to be.. and where it took me less than a minute proofreading, editing etc. my three-liners, now it takes for ever coming up with posts I won't regret the second I hit the Send button. > It alwasy goes to far one way or the other. :) And you keep mistyping 'too' (to) to add to the confusion :-) That's a lot of to/too/two's .. etc. But are you the author of the smartlist program, as Lisi suggests? If so, I do apologize.. I'll re-read the whole thread to figure out how I got so confused about the entire issue. I have apt-gotten the smartlist package and will look at it right away.
