Why do you assume all this? And more importantly, /how/ did you arrive at all these assumptions? I need some evidence that you understand what a protocol is before I want to explain the principles here further. E.g., are you knowledgeable of how the Emacs command loop works? -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
