I can try that, though I'll have to try and figure out how to "un git commit -am" my file so that I can see if it works with just having done "git commit -m". Otherwise, I'll just futz with another file and try your process. Based on the Worg instructions... is your way preferred, or was anything wrong with my process such that Worg's instructions *should have* worked? It seems that they wouldn't work as-is, so if that's the case, I'll update Worg with the best practice per the list's input. John > hth, > Tom > > -- > Thomas S. Dye > http://www.tsdye.com
