Thank you for your quick response. I'll give it a try first thing tomorrow.
I'd like to ask again however: is this documented anywhere? I don't quite have the time to trial & error every little thing in nant, which is why I resort to using the mailing list. Some clear examples/docs would help me tremendously, especially for trivial things like this.
