I would second Nick's comments. I have noticed that there are many
postings that could be answered by reading the manuals or findit or net
search. Many of these are posted by a few people and my immediate
reaction is far less charitable than Nick's. I hit the delete key.
This is a plea to those who don't read the manual: RTFM and the FAQs.
When I receive several hundred emails daily, I delete things that don't
have any interest to me. I don't want to also delete things that don't
belong on the list in the first place.
GRRRRR!!!

Subject: st: RE: use of count.
This question was clarified later, but I just want to register a general
protest against reports of this kind, in fact a protest that echoes my
last posting.
In my files I have an evolving document with nearly twenty different
interpretations of "does not work" (e.g. is illegal, does not do what I
want, does not do what I expect, ...). Reports so vague are a waste of
everybody's time, including the questioner's.
