I tried turning on everything in the OPTIONS list that way, and then grepping the listing for the words, but they didn't show up, so I was worried that I had misused it. I want to determine the syntax for the OPTIONS keywords, both to turn them on and turn them off. Hmm, that first sentence reads a little miffed ... sorry, I always react that way, when folks write up docs by igivng an example instead of giving the real data. It never fails to tick me off, just my hot button. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
