Here we go with yet another silly question, this one about the RCS
function rlog.  I'm writing an emacs-lisp function to checkin all
checked-out rcs files in a directory.  I naturally want to limit it to
only those files the user has checked out, not somebody else's checked
out files.  But, when I do, e.g.

rlog -R -L -lrfinch RCS/*

it gives me all checked out files, as if the -lrfinch had no effect.

Am I doing something wrong?  Misreading the rlog man page?  I'm using
rcs version 4.3.

PS.  Many thanks to those who responded to my previous question about
flushing buffers.  I was thinking there might be some OS level call to
flush a buffer, or perhaps some public domain daemon which would
periodically do so, but I guess not.  Sigh.  (I'm a fortran-er, which
explains my abject ignorance on C matters).
