I had assumed the above was the case.  Just didn't know whether it was
worthwhile to check all the commands for validity as command, before
executing any.
 
I take it that my question has been discussed before.  At least I get that
feeling from Erics reply.  So I'd better retract my question.
 
Thanks for the confirmation of my assumption, Eric.
 
Regards.
