Still problems with multicol
the  info at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/multicol.html
does not say enough.

to repeat my situation:
I have a twocolumn koma-book document
I have selected twocolumn in document>page
I have added in the preample
\usepackage{multicol}
in order to avoid an empty page which is inserted 
with the twocolumn selection
(as recommended on this list, thanks again)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
here should come a onecolumn-part
\begin{multicols}
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
\end{multicols}
and here twocolumn again
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

LaTeX Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{multicols}.
 \end{multicols}                   
Your command was ignored.
Type  I <command> <return>  to replace it with another command,
or  <return>  to continue without it.

If I use \begin{multicols}{1}
I get no error, but the onecolumn part is put in the 
right column of my basic setting twocolumn in document>page 

According to Herbert, multicol is a separate prg and has nothing to do 
with the twocolumn setting.

Where is my mental blackout?
