oh, very nice. that does get almost everything, and i can work on ways of
picking off the rest. this'll be much easier than trying to write an ANSI
escape character converter, which is *so* not what i wanted to do today.
(i'm suprised there doesn't seem to be one though.)

Thanks to everyone -- this helps. And I'm still definitely interested in
any scripts folks are willing to share for how you've gotten Expect to chat
up your OPAC.

thanks
