-to achieve the result you want dependent on your own preference and which is more simple to
-do. It is pointless writing 8 lines of reject filters when 1 accept filter would do the
-same thing! Each filter has 10 lines (of any length) which are tried in order. If a line
-matches then the action you have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and accept
-means take it)

-dumped but all else will be accepted. If you use an accept filter, then ONLY the lines
-in the filter will be accepted and all else will be dumped.
-For example if you have a single line <EM>accept</EM> filter ...
