In retrospect, I >should have looked at the attack code for guidance. It's not your fault that the command doesn't work. As I said, the previous version didn't work either, as far as I can tell from the CVS sources, and your December hack was certainly a major improvement with respect to other problems. The fact that nobody discovered that the command doesn't work for many years shows that it's a very subtle bug (or a seldomly used command). I found it paradoxical, though, that those who argued that this is a very useful command which should be kept at all costs have never been able to use it, while I, who do have a selective fire-at command on my Mac don't find it particularly useful :-).
