Once again, thank you jsilva.
It's amazing how the people around here, and unix people in general, are so friendly and helpful. As new communities go, i haven't found one this welcoming since i got into the apple acene years ago with my nifty performa 630!
And not only that, unix rocks, and osx being based on it is the bravest/best step apple could have made.
Many happy (if brain taxing) times to come....
