Thanks! Great tip!!
It's even possible to make a script which includes a
form of 'bpimagelist' command, and extract what's needed
from the output.
Type 'bpimagelist' alone to see all what you can do, and
then use the power of UNIX to do the rest...
If one is under DOS (Windows box), I'm sure there is a
similar command.
