Thank you so very much for this bit of priceless information! I have 
been wondering this for so long, but the man pages and my little Unix 
handbook are quite useless on this point (it is a lot like trying to 
learn a language by reading a dictionary that contains only nouns).

(And thanks for your patience with Pedro and the rest of us newbies.)

Best wishes,
Clint
