   Not using a -p on a lookup that you modify is NOT recommended.
Why would you decide to never use the -p flag?

   I think that you need to be reminded that Ken's job is to
write C code for fP Tech, not to give everyone on this list
free and almost instant filePro technical support. It has
gotten to the point were his help is not appreciated, but
simply expected -- people actually get annoyed that Ken hasn't
posted a solution to their problem within minutes of it appearing
on the mailing list.
