Anyone? If I am doing something blatantly wrong or missing something
painfully obvious - please let me know. If this is one of "geez, I've
never encountered that before" problems - that's fine, we got coders

level or a snippet of code which can reveal this? Or am I just being too
impatient? (hehe, yeah, I know, this is a volunteer effort and all :) )
