This excerpt (from net.unix-wizards) is particularly poetic: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ...Or as Judy Garland put it so eloquently so many years ago, Birds fly over the rainbow...

Guess it's just one of those days!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think that the ~e's quite nicely represent the happy little birds' flight. --Rick
