Did you intend this as a private mail or for the
list/newsgroup? It doesn't contain anything sensitive
which is why I send this reply, and your fix (quoted),
to gnu.emacs.help.

I don't really remember the issue back then, so either
I dropped it or got it to work :) But thanks!

Here are the related files, which are probably better
as I have used them more:
