Kevin,

Thanks very much for that, it was exactly what I was looking for. I had  
looked at the man (and info) page for quite some time, but sometimes the  
lack of examples in man pages can be somewhat of a hindrance. info tends  
to have more example, but I was man/info'ed out at this stage...

Thanks for your time, and good examples.
