>      The query.conf file contains the mapping from options to field
      names and comparison types.  Quoted option names are "grepped" for, so
      it should be easy to edit this file.  Comments (#) have no effect; you
      must make sure these lines do not contain any quoted "option"

><P
>      buglist is a shell script which submits a Bugzilla query and writes the
      resulting HTML page to stdout.  It supports both short options,
      (such as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options (such as
      "--assignedto=foo" or "--reporter=bar").  If the first character
      of an option is not "-", it is treated as if it were prefixed
      with "--default=".
    </P
><P
>      The columlist is taken from the COLUMNLIST environment variable.
      This is equivalent to the "Change Columns" option when you list
      bugs in buglist.cgi.  If you have already used Bugzilla, use
      <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>grep COLUMLIST ~/.netscape/cookies</B
> to see
      your current COLUMNLIST setting.
    </P
><P
>      bugs is a simple shell script which calls buglist and extracts
      the bug numbers from the output.  Adding the prefix
      "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id="
      turns the bug list into a working link if any bugs are found.
      Counting bugs is easy.  Pipe the results through
      <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>sed -e 's/,/ /g' | wc | awk '{printf $2 "\n"}'</B
