	im taking this off-list so i dont show any further ignorance....
	but i've tried everything SED i can think of without direct
	success [1], but want to know *how* to delete from </CENTER>
	to EOF.

	sometimes sed spat out stderr messages, usually failed by printing
	the file to stdout.  so when you have time, can you please show
	me?

	gary



	[1]. Indirectly, i used -e '/<\/CENTER>/d' (&c) to get rid of thee
