Thanks, Wolfgang! I'll give it a shot and study your example so I can
learn from it!
Gosh this list is nice! Reminds me of the "good old days" when we used
UUCP, bang-paths and C-News to communicate (or the early ARPANET days):
polite, expert, very willing to share knowledge &c. An endangered
species on today's crass, commercial Internet.
