Thank you.  However, you have nothing to apologise for.  In fact, it was
I who was apologising to you.

   tic = tongue in cheek
   tfic = tongue firmly in cheek

are two somethings I am prone to ( and also guilty of ) more than I care to
mention.  tic comments often get misunderstood, even with the emoticons,
i.e. ;o), in place, and thus win me a lot of 'enemies'!  ;o)

Anyway,

for a somewhat lengthy explanation!

If I were to say 'Ignorance is not one of your best assets, Pablo'  I'd be being
subtly 'tfic' again!  Maybe you will understand me this time?

There really wasn't any.  But again, thank you.

Now, see my answer to your other mail.  I have posted you an explanation as
I see it, along with some sample code.

Regards,


Chris.
