Hi Neil, is this the "Bothwick effect" ? This was the first I tried after my script failed...and it failed again after adding the "". I tried it again...and now it works. Only difference: I did it from the commandline (using zsh). I am baffled. But it is better, I don't completely understand, whu it is working now than vice versa ;) Cheers! Meino
