Agreed. If you're gonna' install it where neophytes might make
use of it, alter the line describing the usage of find: escape the
backslash (which escapes the semicolon) so ms (nroff, whatever)
doesn't delete it. IN OTHER WORDS:

	find /etc/motd -newer $HOME/.motd -exec cat {} \;

has to be changed to

	find /etc/motd -newer $HOME/.motd -exec cat {} \\;

(Guess how yours truly found THIS out... :-? )
