Indeed. But, now I think that I gave bad suggest about extension via environment variable (How to document this "feature"? Who will know about? It looks like a trick) Ilija, so far, I take a timeout to think and test your substitutions and I will try to find compromise solution without the tricks and complex Tcl/CDL expressions. Sergei
