If even I managed to forget about this wrinkle and get surprised by it, others may well be surprised too. I know the difference between "variable" and "user option", though it had been years since it last entered my awareness. Other people may never have known it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
