Hi Jason,<br>
<br>
many,many thanks - it works. -- u saved the day<br>
<br>
Haskell rather seems like a steeper slope to be honest,<br>
but I find the whole language concept very fascinating.<br>
<br>
What I can&#39;t imagine yet, how to address typical oo-problems especially<br>
when its &quot;not allowed&quot; to update and change variables ...<br>
<br>
Cheers Phil<br>
