Thank you to all of you. Time to share my work. From your posts, I wrote
that litte script I placed in my /usr/local/bin directory. That way I
can run it against a file without all the stuff to type (and remember)
each time :-)

This is it. Save it, chmod to 755 and voila. I would be pleased if some
of you could improve it.
