I KNOW how to type commands. What scares the willies out of me is to do
so and to press return... from many years of bystanders shouting "PUSH
THE RED BUTTON!" So, I push it and wind up with Kibbles and Bits. That's
another reason I keep personal stuff on a separate partition. I blow it
up enough, while dinking around, all by myself! <cackles> Ric
