Hello again,

Thanks for the reply. That was my first approach, that is, to find an
existent experimenter pattern and follow it to build mine. However,
I have not found something similar, so could you be more specific and give
me an example of such a message/pattern that is already implemented ?
In terms of the 'ONFST' type, I have already tried it but the problem
remains the same as I described in my first email.

Thanks for your time,
Apostolis
