A plea on behalf of all newbies: please, run (test) all your examples,
no matter how trivial they appear to be. This sort of mistake is too
easy to make (slash/backslash, especially if you are switching from
platform to platform), but they can be very perplexing for a newcomer.
And, for goodness sake, Ralf, this is nothing personal, I know you are
just trying to help, and I am sure it is very much appreciated. Jiri
