Thanks to Bob Hanlon, Henry Foley, David Reiss, Allan Heiss, Roland
Franzius,Hartmut Wolf, Tom Burton,Daniel Lichabau, Jahaness Lusteck and
other who helped me with my problem with ruledelayed.
In my message I input a typo (k and kk) in the counter that introduced some
noise. But all the messages coincided in showing the true difficulty: in
the abscence of parenthesis,m4.0 interpreted the operation as a division,
not as a replacement rule.
You were all very helpul;thanks again.
