So should cred be given to the underlying architecture, which is brilliant, and not to the dialect in particular, which serves its purpose to the point? Well, as I see it there is no lack of good ideas in the world - the challenge is always to implement them and turn them into pieces of the domain, which I like to call - reality. However, certain ideas are so good they stick out as exceptions to this rule - and I'm absolutely sure, just maybe, this might be one of them! If you understand exactly what I mean, take a look at this screenshot to be even more confused: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/pics/instant-colors.png -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
