<snip> True, but when I'm using Cygwin, that means I'm at work and don't have a non-MS OS available. Of course I can open an ssh session to my home machine for sanity (or kicking off a torrent download at home), but I don't have a *nix-based OS at the day job. Lanching DSL embedded to use the terminal seems a bit much. ^_^ Shawn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
