Thanks a lot, that ` ` is a great thing.

I wonder if Donn read your reply, no sign of it in his mails from today, and 
in his mail timed 07:18:17 he went into an elucubration about a  "fui" script 
with -select or -exclude options. Unless the script already exists he still 
has to figure out how to implement it, so nothing is solved yet.

*In one line you provided what I belive is the best answer to his question.*
Of course he is the juge and I'm waiting for his verdict	 ;)
I 'CC' that mail to his private address, hoping it will get through.
(Of course he can answer on the list)

(Finding the -v option for grep took me a long time, I first searched in 
regexp, then on the net, found nothing...and discovered it by chance)
