Hi Dan,
Thanks! ISH (It Sure Helps) This fixes it. Stupid I didn't see it.
Sometimes I develop tunnel vision… And yes, the documentation can be
improved in order to make this clearer. The documentation is complete
and accurate and just like a UNIX man(1) page: terse and precise. Must
read it at least three times to completely grasp what is says.
Kudos to Yarion for creating this wonderful semantic forms stuff,
though. With Yaron's consent, I'll be happy to make some minor
adjustments to the documentation. Yaron?
Martien.
