(replying to list) Thanks, that was a good idea, but conversion to unix format (I'm on linux) did not help unfortunately. Now the message is "...got #\newline;..." instead.

I tried adding "," after the pages, after the last "}", change {} to "", but no success. Do I use it incorrectly? (Plus I'd like to use it in slideshow, if anyone has something for that...)
