Thanks for the reference, Butch.  Obviously I didn't know what such
a beastie was, either.  I'm noticing an increasing number of references
to XP.

For those who stuck with this ludicrous thread I spun off: there's a
silly comedy show on Canadian TV called The Red Green Show, starring
'Red Green', a bumbling handy-man-type backwoods Mr. Fixit sort of
fellow who generally solves most household problems by the application
of generous quantities of duct tape.  It used to be funny, too.  Sorry
to distract you all from more important things, such as silly British
comedy shows starring John Cleese...
