I depend on the current command line set to make the app work. Will the rug soon be pulled out from under me? :) No big deal, as long as I have a little warning - like a quarter, or so. As you amend the CLI, though, please maintain the 'machine readable' output commands...ones without column headers or unnecessary formatting characters, so that my app, and the many, many users that have built scripts around the CLI are not confronted with surprises. Maintaining compatibility with the current CLI for a few releases of the new CLI would be a nice gift to us! Regards, -Jim
