   Hmmm.. So you don't know either??!?!?!?!?   
      
   When I selected a server, the action completed with an exit. So,     
   I don't know what was supposed to happen.  I thought it would     
   scan all echos on a per/server basis. But the "Yes" selection     
   just quit abruptly.

   True enough.  But I could reduce the work for myself by 50% by     
   skipping every other release. I could reduce the work even     
   further if I skip every 3rd one, and so on!   :D   
      
   I have a binary editor that operates with scripts. To search and     
   replace could be part of a routine with a catalog of changes.
