Thanks.  Now I get what Neil was talking about.  I've got that shell 
account now, but it is getting late.  I'll take a look at making a bug 
report tomorrow.  Plenty of time now classes are all over, and all I 
have left are grad school apps.  Speaking of which, if anyone is at Ohio 
State and could put in a good word for me with the physics department, 
that would be favorite.</shameless plug>
