Thanks for your help Kent

I read something about using portversion -c with the portupgrade command
to upgrade installed pkgs that needed to be updated.

When I run portversion -c  :: I get a print out of things needed to be
upgraded and at the end, it shows a 'if' statment.

How do you use this command with portupgrade so it just updates them
instead of just showing me. Just do it dang it... just do it! ;o)

Bruce..
