Ah, so you don't know what I post normally? Yet you claim to have an
insight. Or do you claim that by adding the phrase 'most regulars', I
should not feel offended?

Then don't claim to know what I usually post, and what gets me off.
I understand an 'RTFM' is in some circles grossly overused, and can cause
some people to take an instant dislike. In this case however, it was
exactly what the OP needed, as the manual even includes an example with
the exact functionality he specified. So, even an 'RTFM' reply should be
rated on its context (and I did provide the 2 function that might be of
interest).
On a side note, according to google RTFM isn't that widely used here:
<http://tinyurl.com/338ww5> And even those hits are a lot of doubles &
quotes.
