...Ok.  I was wrong ... It can be done.  For some reason AT&T took a short-cut
...and only displayed the u_comm string in the user block that only contains
...the first argument.  The real way of doing it and really the "-f"

I lost you, Lenny.  The ps -f on the 3b1 doesn't give anywhere near as
much info as the same command on the 3b2.  So what do we use on the 3b1
to get all that nice stuff?
