Hello Dario

I am glad that my suggestion worked fine for you.

You are wondering that it looks like I would have a different
Mathematica documentation than you. But this is not true. I have the
same Windows version as you and probably (I don't know whether the
documentation is updated in the background when Mathematica is
connected to the internet) also the same documentation as you.

The example under "Basic Examples" (which I am talking about in my
first response) isn't in my Mathematica documentation (anymore).

I explain the situation as follows: when I was writing up my response
I was switching back between Internet Explorer and the Mathematica
documentation notebook(s). I was testing my suggestion in the
Mathematica documentation notebook (for Part), temporarily modified
this documentation and later concluding (wrongly) that this was part
of the standard Mathematica documentation.

I apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused.

Best Regards
Norbert Marxer
