I know this is off the topic of telnet, but since I brought it up here goes.
Yeah Bela is great esp. on the DVD that comes with the "Music for Two" cd with Edgar Meyer. Great little documentary. Complete with a roadie who tries to find a banjo joke Bela hasn't heard.

How do you tell when a banjo is in perfect pitch?
When it lands in the middle of the bonfire. Badum Scchhhhhhhhhh

Anyway on a topic more related to this thread, I have been messing around with telnet in the terminal. Carefully going through a few of the help files, but being careful, because I imagine there is evil lurking in there with the wrong commands. I have two questions:

1. What's the difference between starting up in single user and the terminal?

2. What is the "man" command short for?

Maybe this should eventually become a different thread concerning the terminal. I'm sorry if I'm not following protocol here.

I'm going to continue poking around.

Thanks for all the help i have been offered so far and am sure will be offered again.

For every problem there is a simple elegant solution, and it doesn't work.
