What happened to the expression case?  Have you maybe removed it by
accident (at least it's broken for me now)?  See the `eval' calls in the
original code.

These were valid `eval' calls, they allowed to construct commands on the
fly at run time, even specific to the currently given FILE, by
specifying an expression that calculated the command string.

TIA,

Michael.
