that makes sense.  for the one device class that's breaking the scripts, the
display order is 'mostly sorted' -- the anomalies are recent additions/changes
made via ioconfig.

it sure does.  thanks :-)

otoh, now i've got to invent -- late friday afternoon -- a way to change the
script to produce a list of devices (by class name) in ldev order.  not such a big

but not what i want to be doing at this point int he work week.  oh well....
