Well, in this case it was ONE extra level, not the
arbitrary (and variable) number it was in the DG case.
I can live with a situation that is just crazy as long
as it's not moronic. :-)

I wondered where you were, Paulo. At one point I
worried this newsgroup was going to turn into a
hagiography of function graphics because of you.
But I guess you have lost some of that religion.
Maybe when the ITTVIS machines go on sale you
and I can pick up something cheap that actually
works. :-)
Cheers,
David
