I really wish when people asked you questions, you could answer them.

Generally when Ken in particular asks a question, it is rarely spurious 
or rhetorical, it is for very specific reasons and is simply _required_ 
in order to proceed to the next step. Please answer the questions he 
asks, or else, don't complain when you get no useful help.

You have said some flatly contradictory things which confuses things 
utterly. You have said things that are either impossible, or, if true, 
then they prove that you are already doing what you are asking how to 
do. That doesn't make any sense. This means most likely that you are 
simply mixing up the terminology and so we must nail that down first and 
figure out exactly what you are and are not doing, what tools you do and 
do not have available. That was the point of the question "what command 
do you use to do this thing that you said you are doing"  The answer to 
that question will tell us things you have neglected to tell so far and 
allow us to provide some sort of answer to the original question. If 
it's not answerable because it's either not true or you don't understand 
the question, then say that. We can't proceed in a useful way otherwise, 
and some who could best answer will simply decline to even enter a 
nonsensical conversation in the first place so you're missing out on 
help from the very people who know the most about the topic.
