Mind you, I wasn't being critical, just looking for good excuses for my
having failed to figure this out in the first place. ;-)

I can relate to that.
I learned to type, thinking that such skills would enhance my computing
experience, and now I can type like a champ.
Not as wonderful as it sounds though, because what happened is that I'm
ten times more verbose than I used to be.. and where it took me less
than a minute proofreading, editing etc. my three-liners, now it takes
for ever coming up with posts I won't regret the second I hit the Send
button.

And you keep mistyping 'too' (to) to add to the confusion :-)
That's a lot of to/too/two's .. etc.
But are you the author of the smartlist program, as Lisi suggests?
If so, I do apologize.. I'll re-read the whole thread to figure out how
I got so confused about the entire issue.
I have apt-gotten the smartlist package and will look at it right away.
