I hadn't thought of this for the simple reason that I didn't know about this mechanism. It looks very useful, thanks for the pointer! Is there any reason why this isn't defined by default? That would solve portability problems for lots of scripts, and I don't see any disadvantage caused by this link. Cheers, Konrad
