Ah - that makes sense. And yes, following the order you describe, it does work properly. I've attached a documentation patch (to the documentation that wasn't clear to me before). It might also be nice of debirf gave a friendlier error if you ran the command out of step, however, that's much less critical. thanks for the great work on this package! jamie -- Jamie McClelland 718-303-3204 ext. 101 May First/People Link Growing networks to build a just world http://www.mayfirst.org https://support.mayfirst.org Members Local 1180, Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO PGP Key: http://current.workingdirectory.net/pages/identity/
