Heck, assuming you're connected to the cluster you don't even
have to do that.  Just enter "sh/pr e2":

> of CW-sending hit an alltime low in this contest!

I think the number of recent bug acquisitions is directly proportional to
the
number of 1X2 US vanity calls issued over the past few years, it seems they
want us  to think they Really are the ol timers with the Original calls
guys if you can't handle 'em don't use em !! Or else practice somewhere
else.
Fact is I occasionally became so frustrated with some guys/gals ? inability
to send
their own call correctly   at least 2 out of 4 times that I hit ALT-W then
F1 more times than I wanted to !!
As a friend of Mine used to say
" Lord give me patience....... But Hurry ! "
