And that, while lots more typing, seems to duplicate the -I option.

Chuckle... It is working very well, too. And I thank you for taking the
trouble to learn a language you didn't often hear growing up. Had I
stayed in school, the language class choices then were Latin and French.
But TBT, I didn't stick around, I had an allergy problem which turned
out to be milk when it was finally found, and my algebra teacher was
more interested in off-color standup comedy than in teaching algebra, so
in 1948 there was a job market for tv repairmen, so I quit and went to
work. Fixing these new-fangled things they called tv sets. I was 14. So
I was a geek before the word was invented. :) But now I'm an just old
geezer that can regale you with stories about some of the BTDT's I've
done. :) And I've learned something useful today, thanks to you and
Reco.
