OK,

now that I have read it, it looks stupid that I didn't find this 
solution myself.

I've tried it and it seems to work.

OTOH, a little hint in the documentation wouldn't have been bad - I'll 
try to write one or two sentences in the wiki about this, once I'm sure 
I didn't make a serious mistake.



Thanks a lot.
RT3 looks very good.



cheers,
