How did 'xrm' become a file name?
It happened after I added the "-exclude-from=EX -P -r" to an alias... but it happens when I use the binary directly (i.e. no alias). I was expecting 'xrm' to be a pattern that was searched for in the files starting at the current directory. "New" to me -- use of the -exclude-from option. Of note: EX contains: *.orig *.1 *.1.in Ideas? Doesn't seem like correct action...
