I'll answer the last part first.

I'm so new to *NIX, I'm just learning when to bow my head in despair,
and when to nod in agreement. That's why I put this up for general
consternation here. My devious scheme worked, as now I am a little
more informed, *and* a little more confused. <G>

Thanks MUCH for your input! <!!!>

PS: I'm going to crosspost this to OFFLINE.

Yakayo! (I'm still working on the language! <G+D>)
