OK, looks like I am unfamiliar with subscribing to multiple lists on a contemporary list server other than list.debian.org. Stuck in the past. Still am delighted with Smartlist. Content with 11 confirmation replies. Even feel assured by the meticulous 22 acknowledgements. What can I say. -- Regards, Freeman "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question. NO (or Linux) is the answer." --Somebody -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
