First thanks for your answer. It seems to be the help I need.
But I'm an absolutly newbie in using Xemacs and Gnus. My second problem
is the English language. May be enough for smalltalk;-)

I found string-to-number in Info-file but it matched if there are only
leading whitespaces. How can I say: Go, for example, 6 columns right
and than string-to-number.

I hope you understand what I want to say.

greetings Horst
