Joe:

Opps ...

My memory didn't include remembering the other includes ... that would 
explain it.

I'll wait until I get my machine back and can look at what is in 
/etc/.bashrc and some of the suggestions for place to look, docs to 
read, etc. regarding this to see if I can get rid of the one offending 
situation (I've never bumped into blinking anything ... and if I see it 
I am inclined to be of jdow's POV that wrecking unimaginable havoc is in 
order)

Thanks,
Paul
