Ah, the "DO" command. I remember now hearing about it on this list in  
times long gone by.

I always felt there was always something a little mysterious and  
miraculous about it.

I think there must have been a "DO" command involved when the Sun  
stood still for Joshua.

Don't explain it to me. I need a little mystery in my  life right now.

Suffice it to say that it works. Thanks.
