Dear Thomas. Thanks again for your reply. I have tried your solution of putting the logo-file into the folder %HOME% on my Windows system. Actually what happened is that after invocation of the script the file vanished into the nowhere... I couldn't see any change in the error output otherwise I would post it here.
Kindly regards, Thore PS: Thanks for your hint regarding the multiple post. It was a stupid mistake and I promise it will never happen again. Sorry again to all annoyed readers.
