Hi! Ed,

You don't say.  I went through that cycle just this morning.  You see something
didn't work... a script file on my Linux machine (AKA, a batch file).  I know
it should have worked 'cause it had worked at a command prompt, a line at a
time during testing.

I have been itching for the chance to use that script for two days, Ed.  My
chance came this morning, with the arrival of your note in fact. When it came
time to use it to update my news server settings (and other things) from a
remote site with that script, the last line of the configuration change failed.

It seems that I had stealthily hidden a copy/paste error from the testing
command prompt!  It had been sitting in a dark space in that script for two
days, waiting for an opportunity to pounce!  I was devastated.

I like to get my way.  OTOH, I know where the kill switch is.  :-D

Cheers,
Paul.
