Thanks!

I didn't realize the unix client didn't allow bidirectional linkage (docs 
for linked cells are hard to find).

Anyway, I have gotten this to work now but I had to use the reverse order 
that you suggested.

>newcell oldcell #name
>oldcell #name

Otherwise I still got the original error 2.

Cheers,
Stephen
