Hi Alan, thanks for the infos! That will help! Short meta-question: I haven't done this before and need some instructions... Since I am no native speaker, I often fail to find something specific (or ot will take much longer than usual). What is the "terminus technicus" here? "User overlay", "local overlay" or something with "layman" in there? Cheers Meino
