Not all the world is ANSI!!! :- This was hardly unknown at the start, and I was the one who told Michael to feel free in assuming ANSI as a minimum price of entry. However, it was perhaps the wrong decision to make this interface the *only* one and I am talking now with Michael about making the entire visual interface a command available from the wretched, inferior, ugly CLI interface we have now. I may even go a few steps towards improving that CLI, like adding wildcarding to `disable' and other such creature comforts. Would that make you happ(y|ier)? Jordan
