Squishing the bugs

Lordy this bug (bug in my code, not in Metacard's) gave me fits!

I had a piece of code that got volumes(), and put it into a list that 
included other computer info.

I did not account for multiple volumes being on separate lines, and 
my code did things to line this or that of the list.

But for anyone with multiple volumes, the code failed, as it wrote to 
the wrong line.

Since the bug only affected *some* folks, it took me the longest 
while to figure out why the code worked for most folks and failed for 
a small few.

Moral of the story... sometimes getting lineoffset(whatever,whatever) 
will work better than getting line x of the list.
