Hans - Understood ;)  I am still feeling my way around scheme right now so probably not ready to contribute just yet.  But as soon as I grok scheme I would try to dig into the internals and collaborate with you - no time table though... ;) Thanks, yinso <div>On 4/11/07, Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema <<a href="mailto:hdnews@gawab.com">hdnews@gawab.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Yes, It is possible, I know. I'd be happy to provide the feature, but at the moment (till somewhere june), I'm too busy. If you want to contribute yourself, please do so.
