	Cool.  Looks like rereading every recent message about rc.d helped
like I thought it would. :) :)

	hmmm.. I'm trying to think but nothing's happening.  Well nothing
that I consider reasonable anyway.  How can I use eval to figure out if
a variable is set in two scripts without either having the scripts do
the check when setting the variable or knowing the name of the variables
and checking after reading each script in?

	Can you provide an example of the eval thing?
