I tested this on our de-com hosts (those I needed to keep) and it did not quite 
work as expected.  I instead got one line in host access that has all of the 
entries, which did not work.

Removing the quotes and adding the semicolon has fixed that.  :)  The final 
(sample) query:

. type: nsr client; group: sybase
update remote access: host=recover1, host=recover2;

 [and lots of 'y' responses afterward, as I was doing this interactively]

I still had to do a tweak or two afterward in 'visual' mode, since some hosts 
in the group are special cases (for example, a storage node).  But this was 
expected, as I tended to stick all manual backup hosts in this group; I'm also 
in the process of fixing that.

Thanks,
--TSK
