Interesting command. I didn't even know of it till I read your post, so I can't comment on whether it works well or not. equery on the other hand, is known to give accurate answers to a question the user normally did not ask. i.e. it doesn't really do what users wish it did. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
