How you guys could possibly have missed that among my thousands and
thousands of lines of drivel is certainly understandable.  I won't make
the false promise to try to be more concise.

The long odd process was just me going through the process of
discovering simple basic command line skills, however slowly.  It
_should_ worry you that I have to do that so often.  (Trust me, it's
scarier to watch in person.)  (The method behind my odd madness was
that I showed my work, including the false starts, [and similarly why I
draft such lengthy messages] is so that maybe other noobs out there
would maybe tip towards using the product and maybe even chime in on
the list.)
