Thank you---I appreciate your effort on glossarium.lua very much, but
I don't want to be dependent on you every time I want to tweek my

Why do you complain about other user's English? - Let us be happy, that people
of another mother tong including my self do participate on the list and share
their experience with others!
According to what I tested the basic functionality is already available in
