I first wrote it as rm'ing */key, but perhaps I thought that a somewhat 
intelligent sync system would not then automatically remove the key segment, but 
might duplicate zero width file.

Bad example, but you knew what I was trying to get across.

I was distracted this afternoon. Was tossing out old equipment, and cleaning up 
around here, as well as trying my best to not follow the instructions on the new 
FreeBSD 6.0 server in order to print filePro to windows spoolers. I don't know 
why I think I can skip steps and things just work.
