yeah I figured that out after sending the letter. Silly of me -- all I had
to do was read the tokenize source and all was clear.

I need to get used to a few things:
- all the source is there :-)
- it's quite readable :-)
- it's O(100) less code than current *n*x distros to do anything. :-)
- it's better source than I can write :-) or :=-(

I had just come off working with a linux system that had a 941-line script
just to bring up enet, and bad habits come back quick.

Lesson: if you're on Plan 9, UTSL.

ah, wireless. it's back.
