Wow yet *another* way to skin this cat. I will have to play with 
'script'..Never even heard of it before.

The problem is/was that mfdb sends voluminous output to stdout when it 
cannot write to a temp file...So much so that the desired output is 
pushed out of the buffer. This output does NOT show up in mfdb's logfile 
(unless I used the wrong switches..that's possible and I will check.)

I have enough trouble with vi. I'm not going *near* Emacs!

Thanks

Geoff
