  Thanks for the link.  This'll be handy sometime.

  Not a bad joke at all, but you know that I searched in TkMan with
no luck, checked the indices of three Lignux books, and even looked
in Kernighan and Pike's old _Unix Programming Environment_, before
finally finding a number of references to the decryption of ROT13
in O'Reilly's _The Usenet Handbook_ (it's a real handicap being
as old-fashioned and book-oriented as I am ;-)

  This was really the first time I'd ever run into this ROT13,
though I had heard of it.  For anyone who doesn't live in the 
stratospheric realms of Emacs and had a similar problem, this
will do the trick:
   
tr "[a-m][n-z][A-M][N-Z]" "[n-z][a-m][N-Z][A-M]" < $1

  Cheers, and watch out for them hormones, guys.
