thanks, that works just fine :) . I am writing some methods right now. 

a last question maybe: how can I ouptut text on the command line from 
within a function?

crit(...) and function_crit(...) don't seem to work, even when I include 
the puppet functions using "... loadall" like said in the docs.


thanks in advance, 
axel.
