I wish that I didn't keep running into "seasoned" *<insert name-du-jour for

This reminds me, I think, of how tedious it is to make changes to spooled
files in OpsNav - you can select multiple files as you describe, but when
you right-click and click on Properties (IIRC), you get a prompt for each
item selected, not a single prompt with common items allowed and not common
items grayed out. Even Windows Explorer does this in the properties window
when multiple items are selected.

I wish it were as simple as WRKSPLF, where you can put a 2 on multiple
items, then put the changes on the command line once, then hit Enter and
bah-dah-bing!!
