        Yeah, OK, I found it.

          Originally, to raise something's priority by incrementing a register.

          Now it means to put a thread at the top of a list by adding a blank message, but since a blank message is not permissible or meaningful, 'bump' is used to both force the action and to explain its purpose.

            Thanks for that, that one's new to me, POKE, PUSH, Bit, Byte, Nibble, and JUMP I know from the dark and dim assembler days, but that was a very, very long time ago.
            Guess I better invest in 'Thread etiquette for beginners'.

              Just keep posting; the friendly folk in General will gently push you back on the rails should you make any serious infractions.
