Filtering for uniqueness in a list

[Harvey Toyama]

Hi Alex and Mark,
Thanks both of you for your advice. I used both techniques, they both
work, but I'll settle on the "split". It took me a while to figure out
why it works.

I had overlooked the "warning" in the split definition in prior reading.
Next time I'll pay more attention to the warnings -- better yet, I'll
regard "warning" as "opportunity".

Thanks,
-- Harvey

Yeah - I had to test it out to make sure it worked OK when the secondary

delimiter (e.g. TAB) didn't occur in any line, so I was pleased to see 
it work.

Thanks. Now that I can depend on connectivity (almost) all the time, I 
can try a few more interesting ways of dividing up applications between 
client and servers.
