The limit of 20 names on a command line is some developer's mighty poor concept of product usability, artificially handicapping the command in an environment which affords far more flexibility. You can get around this with the Unix 'xargs' command. I'd recommend getting familiar with it, as it can be very useful. Richard Sims, BU
