All,

Thank you again  Bas.

Do I have to create a 'purge directory'?  I cannot find mention in the ref doc.

I find in the ref document...
     body copy_from mycopy(from,server)

     {
     source      => "$(from)";
     servers     => { "$(server)" };
     copy_backup => "true";

     special_class::

       purge       => "true";
     }



Could "special_class" could be true for one file and not for another?
If so, how is that expressed in teh language.

Speaking of the language...
What does CFengine think I mean by giving an 'ex_list' if it is just going to 
'purge' those files anyway?
Nothing?
If so, it seems like the language is missing an opportunity to express a 
reasonable state of affairs.

Thanks,
Ron
