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.
