A couple of years ago when I documented that function, I thought that the examples where enough (the functions return booleans there), but having that in the description will be a good thing too. Like the old teaching technique of repeating things at least 2 or 3 times so the student will comprehend. Linux on my home laptop is still not completely working, so I won't be able to commit the changes, feel free to do that. Cheers. ===== --- Jesus M.
