Well, that worked. Thanks. I have to ask, thoug, where is this  
documented? I have tried to read as much of the doc as I can and I  
have not seen this command.

Well, the wiki only seems to talk about scratchbox2 and I am trying  
to use scratchbox. Maybe this is not a good idea. Is the available  
documentation for scratchbox2 more complete?

thanx - ray
