Doy!  Yes, of course, that would almost certainly do it.  I will try that next 
time the situation arises.  A most excellent suggestion.

It would still be nice, assuming that this works, though, to have a command to 
do only this; indeed, it seems to me that sync (just once) *should* be 
interpretted to perform this function if there isn't an explicit way to do 
it.

No, I think that I was the one who was missing something.
