Carsten, you're right: the "-"-problem should be obvious... But I am not trained as a mathematician or a computer scientist, I am a humble literary scholar and librarian who looks on the "-" as a simple dash, not an operator. But I like to learn the way others think and computer programs work. Thanks for the explanation!
