Ok, thanks for your response. It helps me to understand where I think I misunderstood Michael. Where he said in the rare cases where that's inconvenient because it changes the evaluation context I undesrtood something like: in the rare cases where it changes the evaluation context (so that becomes inconvenient) where the intended meaning was, I think now: in the rare cases where that's inconvenient because the evaluation context change (anyway, that always changes the evaluation context) Right? Please blame my poor english. Sorry for the noise. Regards, --drkm ___________________________________________________________________________ Nouveau : tiliphonez moins cher avec Yahoo! Messenger !
