Ahhhhhhh! Thank you! This is the magic I was missing. And it makes<br>
perfect sense, now that you say it.<br>
<br>
>b) «netname objects» don't exist, so no, not supposed to work.<br>
<br>
That comment makes no sense however. Those objects -do- exist in the<br>
data base and a normal WHOIS query finds them. So I'm really still<br>
not clear on why I can't apply --list-versions and --show-version to<br>
them.<br>
<br>
