I am sorry, but the not-unterstanding is mutual. I really cannot make
sense of you wrote above. Sorry. Could you rephrase what exactly your
problem is? Unlees I understand what you want to do and what doesn't
work as expected I cannot help you. Please explain your problem in a
way that is understandable even for people who don't know the context
of the project your are working on.
