Yes, that=E2=80=99s correct (that=E2=80=99s also one of the suggestions Kon= rad made). We could take that route. What would we call it, though? I don=E2=80=99t = like =E2=80=9Cguix shell=E2=80=9D because it doesn=E2=80=99t quite reflect what = the command is about. No good idea, though. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
