Thank you Mike. I really appreciate that. Obviously once someone had
pointed out -bV I was out of my misery, but it would have been nice not
to spend an hour trying to find it. That is, of course, nobody's fault
but my own, but the 'RTFM' type responses are really unhelpful and rude.
If I had easily found it in the manual, I would *not* have posed the
question ;-)
