	Sorry, I don't know BFU.

	Ummmm ... OK, I won't be angry.  :)

	I'm pretty familiar with cli, having used it under Unix for
several years, and I not only know how to use man, I also know how to use
apropos.  I don't think my problem has to do with the user interface.  I did
spend a fair amount of time looking for help in the man pages and on the net
before I started posting for help.  I know it's irritating to have
someone asking questions on a highly active list like this to which the
answers are easily found with minimal effort.  That does not appear to
be the case here, however; the ppc forums have not yielded any reults either.
It may be that no one has this working.

Thanks anyway,
