 	Below is a patch & the patch is also attached ,  NOTE: this is for 
accessing the ProCurve Switch 2524's as the manager account ONLY ,  I will be 
trying to update this as time permits to do the operator -> manager via enable .

 	Mind you the real difficulty is that on 'exit' these devices still 
require you to exit to operator mode & then when you exit that it askes; "Do you 
want to log out [y/n]?" ,  An interesting challenge ,  tho the time out will 
exit the session I'd still like to exit cleanly .

 	Now HOPEFULLy someone knows howto get the ProCurse's <yes curse> to 
return to default mode of the CLI ?  That would make this patch be moot .

 	My Presen problem is ,  Trying to use the '-c "show interfaces 1"' , 
The command is not even get presented to the device command line .  The time out 
happens & session is returned to the user .
 	Anyone have any ideas where this might be going wrong ?
