ah, good.  i should have guessed there would be a provision for this.

it helped (thanks!), but there's more. :)

is there something special i have to do to 'remerge' an ebuild correctly?
i have tried a simple emerge of the most recent grep.x.ebuild a number of
times, but it continues to show up with the R.  do i have to first update
everything before it?

if so, someone should probably change this:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distfiles/file-3.33.tar.gz
to:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/(etc)
since ftp.astron.com only has file versions 3.35 and 3.36. ;)



thanks again,
j
