28 Aug 2000


      I have filed an RFE for this request. I agree - this would be a simple and a
good enhancement.

I agree, I think this is a really good idea for an enhancement
request.
    	Especially useful for inexperienced admins (or those
muddle-headed from

This is a great idea.  And should be only a couple line of
intern-level
    	code to implement too.
