Net Info manager really needs some good documentation. The insides of this tool is really mystical to me and it's hard to figure out exactly how to get certain functionailty to work properly. Thanks for all the hard work.

Hiya Everyone, I need a bit of help from someone who is savy with shell scripts and osx. I have a shell script that I use on the SGI for renaming groups of files. It's pretty cool. Anyhow it works great under IRIX but has some difficulties under OSX because certain command run differently...
