I understood you, but I saw that Karl-Heinz thought I'm talking about YOUR
intelligence. That is out of question I'm sure!

Heaven no!
The leader is the base floppy, the team are the add-ons. I meant the leader
has no need (@Karl-Heinz: remembder, always only my opinion) of stuff that
is only used by the addons. Which is the setup-information for the add-ons.
You are personally perfectly out of question, you are not at all
"autoritative and fascist"!
You are very kind to everyone even if he asks something the 15th time... ;-)

There always should be an antipode (usually I am...)

I regret to hold that saved memory so high. What is more important is, that
if a new add-on is out you don't have to addapt the base every time.
But enought of that for now, I think everyone is fed up with my defence now.
