I understand what you mean.

What I'm saying is, I do not expect a script to be prepared.
I am the one reading UPDATING and modifying the script if there is a change.
Manually. Whether I write the sequence in the command line or into
a script that I execute doesn't make no difference!

What do you mean, mailing list in the loop?

I need to write another mail for this thread now, but I should reply 
to the proper
mail so I don't confuse you guys up.

Hartelijk dank, Stijn!
