Hmm. I see that it's easy to miss, but it is there: When no flags are given, -acdgkmnru is assumed. -c ..... Taken together, these two make it clear to me that a get/set option without an option queries, and with an argument sets. But I do see that there can be a case made for more clarity. I will put something together when I have a little more time. Suggestions welcome. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
