Anyway, the 'sed' scripts are simpler. Peter Honeyman says I should have mailed, instead of posting, my mistake. That leads to my question: How does one find a mail path when the news item says something like from ..!abc!def!xyz and the computer doesn't know about 'abc' or 'def'? How in general does one find a path to a machine? Several times I have gotten mail back saying such-and-such a path is invalid.
