Splendit! That is exactly what I need. I've seen the code that does it,
but I totally missed it's meaning :)
Thanks for the fast reply. It now works terrific.
I strongly suggest changing the register help text for the text render
functions to include a hint to this behaviour. Nobody should have to spent
three days searching for that anymore :)
