Ooops, an euphoric lack of concentration, pardon and thanks for the correction. But anyway ["last time" will work without troubles. But I agree that the votes on [1,3 and on ["<text>" must be separated. regards Simon Wascher - Vienna, Austria http://members.chello.at/simon.wascher/ P.S.:(I know you warned me to go on with this): ["<text>"<numeral> would work.
