Whoops! Haje forgot the smilely face thingy. :-)

Cheers,

P.S. One thing I learned about working in a UNIX shop
recently is that it's not generally a good idea to impugn
someone's choice of editor, no matter how archaic it
seems to you. And, anyway, I'm beginning to see a lot
more value in the old than I used to see. :-)
