Alright.....  Now were talking.. Thanks fellows...

Where I usually drop the ball is between `man page' and translating it
to the command line.

These several clear examples... should give me a big legup on that.

I always wondered why clear basic examples aren't manditory for
manpages.

taking it off list from here on.
