Ersin,

apologies if I seem to be suffering from terminal thickness, but I still
don't get it. Why would I expect anything other than column interpretation
from a single quoted argument. I *want to be told* that my column does not
exist, I don't want a calculated index so why should I be expecting one. On
the other hand if I choose double quotes I'm probably doing something
different. Maybe someone else should weigh in and the penny will finally
drop if I am missing the point, but I'm still not seeing crawly things. :-)
