   Sure, that's true. But in this case the notation isn't linux or dos/win   
   specific. I just looked at the linux man page format, for a form of how things   
   are done in a more widely used platform.   
      
   And I think the shorter more simple form is also more clear...

   I better spend my time on more pressing issues, then what is basically a   
   cosmetic thing. ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
