Hi! Ben,

On 05/27/2016 12:05 AM, you wrote to me:

That's getting messy, quoting & re-quoting.  :)  It was a bit gaudy
'cause I don't like colour effects as a rule.  The way I tried it with a
copy+paste, with a line-feed break fix, showed an indefinable error just
after the hostname just before the '~' (it displayed a digit, 6).

In any case, thanks but no thanks.

Cheers,
Paul.
