You don't need a silo for the -d to work - you only need a library with
an in/out port.

Interesting. I do not have a silo, so -d doesn't apply. I suppose I
could 
try nsrjb -w which may work. Annoying, this wasn't necessary previous to

7.3.2 (and I've been using networker since at least version 4). The
jukebox 
has one "door" which I imagine would be the "cartridge accession port".
So 
I'd have to use the command line to get tapes out, one by one, rather
than 
using the jukebox touch screen & door button to remove tapes.

I'll try this, though I suspect just doing what I have been doing is
less 
complicated and just as fast.

Thanks for the idea.
