I think this is nothing special; if somebody has coded a _solution_, he (hopefully) knows what he has done.

Generally, as preciser a question is formulated, as bigger the chance that the answer is precise too. If you have the luck to get an answer from a guru (I'm not a guru), he will point you to good resources for learning. > In other words, if the complete script was there, I think I could learn much faster. On the other side, it can hinder from learning, since one can simply _run_ the script without even trying to understand it. > I have no idea of how to put the code into a script. If you have searched for scripts, and found at least one, you already have an example how to put code into a script.
