Thanks for posting it and informing me about it. I think my usage of "Hungarian" consistent with Simonyi's intent, at least how I understand it. In any case, I find my uasage helpful, as I mentioned to Alex Young on this thread, though I may have to sanitize future posts to avoid people who don't respond to what I mean but instead waste time on how I express my question. Best wishes, Richard
