Carsten,

you're right: the "-"-problem should be obvious... But I am not trained
as a mathematician or a computer scientist, I am a humble literary
scholar and librarian who looks on the "-" as a simple dash, not an
operator. But I like to learn the way others think and computer programs
work.

Thanks for the explanation!

Uwe
