Kewl, thanks, Jon.
I gotta go get a Linux book.
Makes some sense, as the "|" is called a "pipe" symbol.
I'll try it and see what happens.
The install doesn't seem to have internet capability, and
I *did* see some message about that during the install,
but didn't care at that point if it did or not.

I'll look into that after this is cleared up.

Thanks for your help~!
