   Excellent!  I like all 3 of those /especially/ the linuxcommand.org one   
   for my idea of the purpose and the way I would use it - but the other   
   two, especially the first for a different purpose.  Got any more?   
      
   Why do you need any more?  Errr ummm.... someone once said, "I buy you   
   books and I buy you books, and all you do is chew on the covers."   
      
   It's like I never have enough regular expression tutorials either.   
      
   If I pile enough of them up and keep sleeping on them, maybe one of   
   these days they'll seep into my brain.
