"command" ? ;)

If both the filename, and the .tic file contained the comma, it's not a htick issue.

It's a bit odd, but a comma is a valid character in a filename both on
windows and linux. So if both the .tic and the filename contained the
comma, what htick did was the only thing it should do...

This depends on my remark above...

Bye, Wilfred.
