I am not exactly clear what you are trying to do here. Can you give the
equivalent CLI client commands which do what you want?

I thought this was in keeping with the generally light tone of the docs,
and didn't find it offensive when I first read it. But maybe that is
because I was not trying to solve that particular problem. In this case,
as Rainer pointed out, the problem has gone away, so the FAQ section is
redundant altogether - I will remove it from the manual. From memory,
there is nothing else in that vein, but if you do find anything
upsetting then let us know and we can review it.

Oops. Well it's going to be deleted anyway. We correct spellings as we
find them, but spotting your own mistakes is always harder than spotting
other peoples simply due to over-familiarity with the text. Again, if
you find any more then let us know and we will fix them.

Thanks,
