To which I'd have to reply, that the wrapper script thats big enough to 
do the job isn't too big.  I currently have the amdump wrapped in 
another script of about 3.5kb, and it calls another script when amdump 
is finished thats about 6.5kb.  I could probably clean up the trash & 
make the comments more concise & cut the whole thing by 30%, but it 
works, and I have a strong inclination to leave whats working well 
alone.  And it is working well for me.
