	There are a whole slew of html/php files (from jottings.thought.org) 
	that I've been [[ koff, koff ]] meaning to edit and fine-tune.  This
	for about a year.  "jOttings" are my personal meditations that
	have been online for years.  They'll always be online, but it's 
	a wee bit hard to cuddle up and read stuff on one's computer.
	Even a laptop, right?  So, long-story-short, I've been trying to
	get these mumblings into ink+paper.  So they've got to be
	readable.   "Perfect" is impossible; so maybe *polished*.

	Turns out that your and Derek Ragona's /bin/sh + awk is what I'm
	using.  (OT, but the 30-45 files I'm editing had some bloopers;
	misspellings, puncutation errs, and more.  So the files are in
	/tmp/Jot. [!] )
