Please, don't add another crock, rather implement a generic ``ddb_enter'' (or whatever) hook. I'm sure Bruce will have an opinion about this, too. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
