Jesse,

That's good to know.  Unfortunately, I guess I'd have to install RT
in order for that to work and I'd like to see the docs now before
going through the install process.  Especially since I don't yet 
have a machine on which I want to install the various perl modules
(not to mention upgrading our version of perl).

Is there any way I could see the docs somewhere else?

I wish I had known that (especially since all my scripts are in perl)!
Unfortunately, on 2.0.15, 'rt -h' shows only the basic CLI docs (which
is how I found out about it).

I take it then, from what you've said above, that 'rt -h' on 3.0.9
will show the information about the real API.

Anyway, I would like to see the latter before actually installing RT 3.0.9,
which may not happen for quite a while here.

Thanks.

Mike
