There's got to be a simpler way to do it, something along the lines of `.g xxx.yyy.zzz' Now's the chance for the real rn-macro-killers among you to prove your salt's worth ;-) "Name of the game - eeeDeePee" -- paraphrase of concluding lines of "A Street Named Desire" by Tennesee Williams. -- ---- ------ ianf@nada.kth.se/ @sekth.bitnet/ uunet!nada.kth.se!ianf ---- --
