I appreciate that. (1) On an error like "reputation N required to comment", include a link with an explanation that refers to the mantra you mentioned (no newby questions) and perhaps a justification. (2) Remembering that seasoned veterans and experts are always newbies at something (e.g. SCCM guru being a newby at Ubuntu or perl), rethink, adjust the "no newby (level) questions" mantra - otherwise it might descend into an ole' boys club with established elite that is condescending to outsiders, anything it considers uncool, or even anything it does not understand.
Afraid the sheer volume of non-intuitive rules and limitations has taken a toll on my desire to seek or post answers here - so we shall see. The answer to the OQ was "you can't", really. Thanks again.
