Why quite so, Harry! Thanks. I didn't know that myself. Works like a charm. And

subdirectories for each project I'm working on. I keep a lot of standard stuff in
the AUTHORS directory, and often have to toggle back and forth.

That _is_ a wonderful manual and I still have my copy of it. And also that XPL
booklet that the old management would sell you. It came with a disk and programming
examples. Remember?
