Yes, this is a technique I've used when doing up important (and dangerous) MUD commands. The command will be something like "unload foo" and it gives its first-time spam, or "unload confirm foo" to suppress it and go straight to the potentially-dangerous action. With shell commands, a -f or --force parameter would be common for that. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
