Probably true of both of us this time of the morning. :)  But I am working 
on it, the last cup from yesterday is a stain in the bottom of the cup, 
and I made some, and have now been advised by my baby that ha ha, I got 
the first cup, thanks. So my now empty cup is shivering in the room temps 
it has assumed.

Its a fat fingered typu Mark, the "7" s/b a "&", short for and. Didn't 
work for obvious reasons. ;-)

And the various flavors of "ed" that I have tangled with on smaller 
machines, could not "backup" and edit a line above the one in the buffer, 
so you had to save/close, the reopen the file to get to that prior line.

I learned to hate it for exactly that reason.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
