Now we have a very simple rule: if the first letter is whitespace, then the command is directed to the remote server. It's possible of course to make it configurable, but I don't think it's worth complication. -- Eugene ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
