I have come a long way since I wrote my original post, partly through private mails partly through guessing and reading in Stephen Wolfram's "The Mathematica Book 5th Edition". I have now solved my original problems but of course there's lots of stuff I haven't been through yet. I'm still waiting for answers from Wolfram as to whether I can update my Mathematica 5 TE which has been "discontinued and no longer supported". Otherwise, I'll just use my old TE on my old G4/867 Macintosh running MacOS X 10.4 'Tiger' [I can then also run Classic apps]. I won't give up my Snow Leopard on my newer computers and I can wait the 15 months it will take for me to be able to purchase a Student's Edition. =A390 the price will then be, rather than =A3195 for a "Home Edition". -- Per Erik R=F8nne http://www.RQNNE.dk Errare humanum est, sed in errore perseverare turpe
