Hello,
I don't know anything about the commands mentioned in these posts. I think,
therefore, that these
essoteric commands and the meaning of some obscuffe folders we have should be
explained thoroughly in
the manual.
I'm truly amazed at how many of you have figured out some of these arcane items!
