Thanks Davina.  When I first encountered the interactivity after doing an
upgrade to the 6.x series, I looked all over for a way to enable the old
behavior, but clearly missed the implications of the `-N'.  Even today,
reading in the `-d' section of the man page for nsrjb, I wouldn't
interpret -N's meaning correctly.

Now I just need to train my fingers to add `-N' when I deposit with `-d',
but that's a lot easier than finding the empty slots and specifying them
when I deposit tapes.
