Clearly, you are annoyed at yourself for wasting so much of your divine
talent to no positive end.  That you take it out on others is the true
mark of your character ;>

For that matter, why did you bother, since you so clearly failed by your
own measure?

Can you even comprehend how much time and effort -- not to mention
enmity -- would have been saved had you had the intellect to offer this
advice in your first post?

Yes, indeed, they are there -- among some several thousand other words
and phrases.  The trick is in finding a document's author's sense of
humor in organizing and indexing said tomes.  If the documentation for
BPF was clearer, apparently I would not have started this thread ;<

Yes, how unfortunate for you!  Your failure to communicate is all on
you.  Too bad for you.

For me, I have the answer that I sought -- which is good for me -- and I
can go forward in life without crass anger gnawing at me.

Thank you, for your wit and vague repartee!  I hope that this lesson has
taught you something about quality communication . . .
