    In any discipline the first thing that must be learned so that you 
may be understood is the language of that discipline ... be it 
computers, law, medicine, martial arts or whatever. I do not like to 
waste my time figuring or ferreting out EXACTLY what someone is trying 
to say. Do us the courtesy of learning the language of the group before 
asking, otherwise the answer you get may not be the answer you want or need.
