In the light of that experience, I strongly encourage your option to leave this alone, warning of the ambiguity (?) in the documentation only. I will include such a comment in the upcoming update of my tutorial. ccn. PS (to all whose Email adresses are mentioned in the tutorial): Following a suggestion by Jean-Pierre Coulon, in the updates tutorial I will encrypt all these Email adresses in such a way that they appear normally in on-screen/printed PDF output, but automatic crawlers will not find them. This will help a bit in keeping these adresses from becoming prey to spam generators. ccn. -- ............................................................ Prof.Dr. Cornelius C. Noack Phones: Inst. f.
