  I know just what you mean. Even worse than seeing whitespace for your
prompt is when your eyes start seeing what you *meant* to type instead of
what you actually did. :-O

  I had better point out, for the benefit of the list, that I am no relation
to *that* David Korn. This means that when I try the ego-boosting trick of
searching for my own name on the web I am generally disappointed!

>Sorry for the error.

  No need to apologize. When even an old hand like Alexandre seemed not to
have spotted it (or to have passed over without commenting) I thought I'd
just mention it for the sake of completeness.

   regards,
