thanks keith

as with many things its sometimes the simple stuff thats difficult to 
find!

you can use wildcards with the name - so

dpkg -l jo*

gave me:

skol:~# dpkg -l jo*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: 
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-======================================

ii  joe            2.8-15.2       Joe's Own Editor - A Free ASCII-Text

pn  jove           <none>         (no description available)
pn  joystick       <none>         (no description available)
skol:~# 

the second 'i' in 'ii' seems to show that the package is installed.

thanks,

kev
