This is where using mc (Midnight Commander) is so valuable. You can see immediately if you are copying/importing a duplicate file - and are given choices about what to do re such an apparent dup. mc is the Swiss knife of file management. > No, I'm just starting the third pint. West End or something like Southern Comfort? (Southern Comfort - beautiful stuff! But you MUST drink it straight and warm it up just like Courvoisier! (How did I discover this? This is for another time and place :-) .) * **Or*, if you are British and a tea drinker, use Earl Grey tea; put the tea (usual amount: 1 tsp per person + one for the pot) into the pot and cover with Southern Comfort and let this steep for some 15 minutes or so. Boil the water, pour into the pot and let steep for usual time. Then drink. MAGIC! [This recipe is copyrighted by moi!]. This works with other bourbon but not as well as with Southern Comfort.)
