Hee hee! While I wait for EVERYONE to take pity on me!

I have a disk drive signaling that it's ready to crash and I haven't replaced a drive in a couple of years. I'm sure I'll be bugging the list again just to alleviate my fear.

James, we all wait for Joe to take pity on us...

Rename using an old fashioned I-spec, James.

An I-Spec with the format name, then a second I-spec with the external
field name and the renamed name. I don't remember the exact syntax, but
I can look it up if you can't find it.

Thanks. I just spotted it myself, although I wasn't quite sure I'd
really found the answer until you corroborated it.

You know me: when I'm in a hurry for an answer, I ask first, then try to
find it on my own, while waiting for somebody to take pity on me.
