One more note:
Nettool's output file designator is 'output'.  If such a file equation is in
effect for your job/session any output will go there.  It had me scratching my
head a few weeks back when I could not get it to display the information that I
was looking for.

just the tiniest of comments, here....  nettool doesn't like to give up this
secret, but 'quit' will do an immediate 'exit' rather than having to keep
exitting up to the top level *and then* say that 'yes' you really do want to
leave.  hth              - d
