Hello Maurice,

 AI>> or some bash magic. I don't have that much bash magic though.. ;)

Thanks Maurice, after doodleing with that a bit it looks like that will do
nicely. It can probably be made to work for poll, send and request.

That's good to know, thanks again. I am pleasantly surprised to see that
that can be done simply with bash.

 Ttyl :-),
