Go through the whole process again and again, in the hope that on one pass it will suddenly be different? There's a saying to the effect that if you've tried something and it doesn't work then to keep trying it in the hope that it will work is a sign of madness. You continue to assume that I hadn't read the documentation. I have. I still have questions. At university we had one lecturer who, each lecture, would simply read out loud a chapter of the textbook he had written, and which was a set text. If anybody asked him a question, he'd simply read the relevant chapter again. Attendance was compulsory (the university tolerated it because he was a genius performing groundbreaking research in his field, by the way).
