Thanks a lot, Nils, for your quick and detailed reply during XMas! It's
working fine.
A bit of background of my question:: I am working on a Math repetitorium
for high school math for prospective university students which makes
systematic use of Sage. But there is no time (and students are not
motivated) for a systematic introduction into Sage, therefore the concept
is to introduce Sage syntax step-by-step as needed, so I am looking always
for the most simple solution. In fact, what I like most with Sage is that
one can do many thigs with simple commands.
