Subject: Re: GoogleCL Docs Recycle Bin
I ended up going to gdata-2.0.16 for the script I needed to do for
work.

I also wrote up a set of simple instructions for 'a' way to do simple
things with Google Docs.  This includes how to byspass the bin in
2.0.16

It is in absolutely no way an alternative to what GoogleCL offers,
just what I learned on the basics of gdata-2.0.16 itself.
