This looks awesomly like a Red Ryder script (not quite the same, but
almost). Is that the Program Scott Watson said he was working on?

By the way, is Scott reachable by E-mail via uucp? As the people at
General Electric consider access to network services, such as
GEnie and Compuserve, by non-US members as "against the laws
of the United States" (see a recent report in NEWSBYTES UK),
they cut themselves from a fair potential of users in Europe,
Canada and elsewhere. Yes, this is ridiculous.
