it's good to have the source, helps a lot in dire cases. but a software 
is easy to use if it's easy to use, isn't it? :)

I just didn't get it, not especially after I got a helpful answer to my 
question (and as I pointed out, I did RTFM before I asked). in this

in the outskirts of industrial Miskolc (you know what I mean).

didn't mean like that. was trying to point out, that even when one does 
RTFM, such (IMHO simple) things don't get clear. thus: the dcoumentation 
ain't good enough.
