I find it funny how after my original email, a lot of additional emails are written without a single line of additional insight, until there are so many emails written that it is natural not to go back to the first mail... resulting in a repeat of what I originally wrote! :-) For what it is worth, I have got the impression now that my suggestions where right and in consens with everybody else here and now I am reassured how to change the interface for the better... :-) Best regards, -Stephan -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
