Right now, it reads like this:
alt.sysadmin.recovery:
0-458244,458246-458250,458254-458257,
458260,458262-458263,458269,458275,458279-458280,458282-458287,
458289,458291-458295,458297-458300,458303-458308,458310,458312-458338,
458340-458342
but with all the numbers on one long line.  How do I correct it?
