But I only want to do it once per first occurrence of the first character, 
aka a phone book.  I want to only output the 'A' header for all the a's, 
etc.  I've tried what you suggested but I then get the header everytime.  
Somehow I need to keep a list around that tells me whether I've already 
output a header... that's what I don't know how to do in dsssl.
