[Techtalk] finding added lines in a file

[Miriam English]

Hi Chris,

This seems to produce exactly what I want. Thank you.
I'm going to have to spend more time reading the diff manual and playing 
with diff output though, because I don't yet understand why it works... 
and I don't like using "magical incantations". :)

Now I have a few points to start from, with everybody's suggestions. I 
should finally be able to get a handle on this.

Thank you,

	- Miriam
