I have never been able to get a display filter to test correctly for 
a literal string value.  E.g.
	ftp.request.command == "LIST"
matches no packets, even if I have created the filter using 
menu Display > Match selected.

versions: 0.9.3 and 0.8.0 on Debian Linux.

Am I missing something???

(Please reply directly as I'm not a regular reader.)

	Thanks,
	Niall
