I am incredibly grateful to Joe for reminding me of debug. Haven't used that
since an old Maxtor MFM needed a good whack.
I was giving advice to a W2K user the other day and was forced to tell him to
use "ed" to look at a file because I had forgetten the name of edlin. He
couldn't find ed but did come up with "edit". Thanks ... next time he asks me
a stupid MS-only question, he gets to solve it with debug. :-)
