Wow, finally a huge step forward!:-) I really do not care if it is a hacker-like way of doing stuff as long as it works. I will try fiddling with what you gave me and post some results when (and if) I get anywhere with it... Thanks once more for a concise explanation... Is there anyone else with some kind of experience in this field? Maybe it is time to start documenting this potentially awesome feature... I could easily provide webspace and/or maintain the docs webpage if needed, as long as I can get a pool of people working on this issue with me... Anyone interested?
