Thanks. I had the same response, except that I had the gut feeling that in the end things were going to be easy ;-) > I don't "want" you to do anything.

I'll see what I can come up with, and write a proper article on my website. Don't count on it being finished soon, though, because this week is going to be very busy for me, and after that I'll be on a two-week holiday.
