Unfortunately I lost the sense of it once I got into the third
paragraph. That's mainly because I don't understand what they are
talking about.

I'll read it again later when I am more familiar with the terms
they use.

BTW, I managed to find a copy of that book that Sindi recommended
at one of the online book houses. New for about AU$115, used for
AU$57. I have ordered a used copy which should be here in a
couple of weeks.

Unfortunately the transaction had to be done on the W98 computer
because of the https pages.

But for now, I'll keep "playing" with BL, and wait for that book.
