Ah, thank you, I wasn't aware of the '--mark-downloaded' parameter, and
did in the end download them all just to delete them. At least I'll
know for next time, thanks again.
I've also managed to adapt my calling program to allow parameters such
as --pid in the lists of search terms, simply by not quoting any search
term beginning with '--' before feeding it to GiP, so the one for
low-def radio now has a line that reads '--pid p02pc9ny --pid-recursive'
to pick up future podcast editions.
Normality now restored.
