Ehemm... indeed! I wonder... am I the only one who sometimes seeks for a
solution, fails, and then feels dumb down to the iron when someone else
presents a simple one? Now, that you presented it, it sounds simple enough
so that I cannot escape the impression that I should have seen it myself
earlier :-) :-)

Mark, you have my respect and please receive my thanks. I'll check this
right away and I owe you a pint should we oneday happen to be in the same
town at the same time.

Ciao
