Hi Alan, thanks for your reply! :) ...and I thought it was me being too limited to see the real truth behind that what it is The Matrix. But it was only a deja-vu....oh wait! It was NO deja-vu ... no glitch in The Matrix...we had similiar emerge-ncies in the past. ;) I will see how far I can go...I was warned to use 060 of boost... Best regards, Meino
