This is kind of what I mean. And if you *do* find one of
those undocumented features BE SURE TO WRITE IT DOWN,
because the next time you want to use the feature
it is almost surely going to take you as long to discover
the feature again as it did the first time! The code is,
uh, non-centrally distributed. Take plenty of bread
crumbs and leave a trail!

Cheers,

David

P.S. My middle son is into neurobiology, and trying to
(as I did recently) unravel how iMap registered an image
with a continental outline is similar to unraveling how
the brain stores that memory of your first girl friend
in the soft sweater and the Chanel No 5 perfume. It's
pleasant when you get to the end of it, but my God it
was a lot of work! :-)
