   That's getting messy, quoting & re-quoting.  :)  It was a bit gaudy 'cause I   
   don't like colour effects as a rule.  The way I tried it with a copy+paste,   
   with a line-feed break fix, showed an indefinable error just after the   
   hostname just before the '~' (it displayed a digit, 6).   
      
   In any case, thanks but no thanks.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
