Thank you! That works great. (In hindsight, I can't believe I put up with
that behavior for all this time; I figured it had to be a bug.)
The man page is clearly misleading on this issue:
if str NULL name of text filter which
does accounting
of str NULL name of output filtering
program
What I wanted to do has nothing to do with accounting. And from their
names ("input filter" and "output filter") either sounds appropriate.
Thanks a bunch!
