Chuckle. Yeah, just you and me, NOT! :-)
Actually Jon, what I had in mind was his use of a few regex patterns
in a DLE, between {} as shown in a modern disklist sample so that the
breakup was under *his* control rather than the users of the
/Documentation directory. That, and a DLE for every user in /home
should help to relieve his problems considerably.
The disklist gets more complex, but thats relatively minor compared to
the situation this user has right now.
