i do of course read those files (which require daily checking to confirm 
usually no relevant changes, but thats another issue!)..

however i don't need to read UPDATING on every box, (this tool is an 
assistent, not a replacement, for monitored updates.)

i do need to check that an update that went fine on the initial test box 
will behave the same on other boxes, which is my question,

can i tell if  the options dialog is going to be invoked?

thanks
Paul.
