ooops :s I'd started with trying to modify a different
example, which I had trouble with due to a lack of understanding of that
one along with a feeling that it was perhaps inappropriate, so I moved
onto this one as it seemed simpler. I was too busy trying to make the
example end gracefully that I was paying too much attention to ruby & not
enough to what was being executed on the remote server in the example.

Thanks :-)
