'List' in the meaning of Liste is _not_ a German word. Don't talk such >nonsense please. You can't simply say well it's taken from the English. Because >then it remains an English word and does not become a German word. I know that >you will get this with a minute of deep thought. That's why I wrote, 6 lines above, correct is "Liste". (?!) Obviously the german word List makes more sense as an engine's name than the english word... OTOH, an engine is a List(e) of program commands. The name allows two interpretations which make some sense (to me). Regards, M.Scheidl
