Oh!

Well then, I misunderstood what that column would show.  How would we see
in a GUI, when the tape will be available?  I don't see a heading that
would be a good candidate.  I don't mind using the CLI, in fact I prefer 
to use these tools.  However, I need to create simple docs for other 
people to pick up for me, and GUI is the way to go.

Thanks,
Ron.
