Oh, it's all clear. allright. Five s's in a word or five i's in a word of five o's. (f.i.) should according to the article be written as "s"s , "i"s or "o"s. That makes the text image less clear. Why the double when one is enough? btw. Why didn't you say so in the first place (would have saved me a multiplicity of complexicities) And furthermore, this complicated answer did not get you enough credit to give acces to an honorable place on the heavy hand-hewn wooden chairs.(+ the mixing up of two persons even sets the total score back to the negative)) Last edited by BranShea; 05/10/07 05:03 PM.

Even though it takes a whole extra keystroke.
