Just great, thanks. I wasn't aware that the \n character (that would
be part of the input in a Perl script, for example) is automatically
stripped off by Elisp, and it also didn't occur to me that you can
simply test the return value of an assignment like that. I guess it
was a case of "den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht sehen" ...

Thanks a lot!
