No doubt. :) Seriously, what happened to me was that I was editing my script 
to add nvtv because I thought I had forgotten it. I just tacked the command 
at the end of the file, the script worked and I thought no more about it 
until a later time when I was editing the script for a non-related issue and 
noticed that I had the nvtv command in there twice. Liking elegance, I 
removed one line and noticed that it broke things.

Being lazy that day, I just re-added the second invocation and haven't thought 
about it in months until seeing this thread yesterday. :) Now, in a defiant 
fit of lazyness, I think I'll leave it alone. I like your suggestion though, 
it at least does a much better job of disguising the inelegance. :)
