The _result_ of a rather complex computation

The idea is good. :-) You'll find my other posting explains that a bit more: My main driver doesn't know about the handle; that's just one more entry in the state of the connection handler. So the connection handler cannot return a complex function, because _it_ is the one who wants to use the handle, not the function that called it. What I return is a state which contains the handle, not the handle per se. Peter
