I have been using mine for a while and have thought about changing it. Of course that would be to another Douglas Adams quote.

You can always ask IBM to develop it, assuming that you have a support contract with IBM.

He is now 8 over the limit and needs to delete 8 now to get to 10,000.

Don't you have to quote the command when doing at?
