Hi Ralf,
I have been using Marshall's solution. Now on three servers and one
workstation. It is working superlative for me. It did not mean
to discount your efforts. I had just already found a workable
solution that I really liked. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I
thought I had made it apparent when I thanked Marshal.
And the maniacal laughter was a joke. I will explain it. There
are those that love the command line and those that don't. I was
poking fun at the debate. Why have only 1 terminal when you can
have 20? (That was also a joke.)
