Thanks Andrew :)
I sort of remembered you saying that the regexp sup****t was much enhanced
in 6.1, but from a quick 
look couldn't find these functions... Apparently the SKILL Language User
Guide makes no mention of 
them (the section on regular expression describes the old rex* functions).
I found them in the 
Reference and Finder, though.
