Thanks, Torsten.  Did I already tell you that I originally learned  German 
(ein bischen) from years of singing Bach cantatas and other similar  music?  
Thus I can talk about spiritual matters in quaint 17th century  backwoods German 
dialect, but cannot ask directions to the hotel in Mainz?
 
Yes this is OT, but it fits nicely with all the accounts of "I learned C  and 
professional programming by playing with my Coco."  Which I agree with,  BTW.
