Finding help on the find command is always a bit tricky. Googling for 'find help' is mostly useful if you're having mental issues or drug abuse problems. 'man find' sounds like something you would not dare type into Google yet it actually gives reasonable results. :-) Of course, that assumes you're experienced enough to know that the UNIX command to get help is 'man.' (A friend of mine does user experience work for Ubuntu and he's tried hard to eradicate the term)<br>

Thanks. I sure couldn't get this from the man page but it worked just right.<br>

Loading wine is just doing it to see what it is all about. As I work at it I see why people choose to spend the money for Crossover.<br>

Do you do computer work? If so would you like to be in the links section of <<a href="http://dmmug.org" target="_blank">dmmug.org</a>>. If so send me a note of what you want on it and I'll edit it to fit the page. I have things set in a maintenance mode right now so it isn't hard.<br>
