I just did a search for "four line gag" this is what was top of list

Spoiler:
Spontaneous mutations in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gag gene that affect viral replication in the presence of cyclosporins.


I give up, here's some smileys to be going on with --

So, I'll go and have a go at that VM hack that sprang to mind at post #12

I use the Multi-Column Search plugin as an ad-hoc Comments Viewer for either selected books or all books in a library.

See the attached example.

i'm not sure what "--detach" does. I just merged the 2 commands and now have

@droopy - it does what it says it does in the manual

Quote:
--detach

Detach from the controlling terminal, if any (Linux only)
See ==>> Command Line Interface
