Hi all! Thanks to your beautiful support, I solved my issue! Again, as usual, I've to send my compliments to this mailing list: every time I've a problem here there is someone that tries to help me (and usually solves my problems)! Moreover, simply reading the ML I always learn new commands that reduces my needs to bother you here!
Thank you all! You are just great!
