OK, NOW you've done it... got me gonig,, as someone with children your
age,,,, as if it wasn't enough that I had to walk to and home from school in
the driving snow, 10 miles, uphill both ways, in days before color was
"invented" and let loose (you've seen the I love lucy episodes in Black and
white for those days, like the first half of "Wizard of Oz, since that was
made during the time color got loose) but we CAN learn if we feel like it.
(my children might agree with you though)

kind of have a hrd time with the concept of command line switches do you?
tough to deal with the idea of pipes? can't seem to add more than one command
at a time to a command line?
