Whoops! Sorry about the cut-n-paste, I'd forgotten about that side effect (if I ever knew). I'm also sorry to report that I disagree with this behavior. In my mind, the closing ']' means an unequivocal "connection made!", so your output looks contradictory in my eyes. It's all in how one was first exposed, I suppose. I learned 'finger' on TENEX before it was ported to UNIX, and TOP-20 thought nothing of leaving things incomplete like that. Anyway, I don't want to clutter the list any further, so if you feel you should commit your change rather than mine, please go ahead. Most folks don't care, I'm sure, and my yearnings for my lost youth are satisfied with the way my code currently behaves. :-) Mike O'Brien
