Thanks a zillion, Ramana, for the detailed explanation. I hope other
TELUSAers benefitted from it/enjoyed it as well.
BTW, I got a private mail from Syamala Rao garu (my queries referred
to his post initially) that he would send me a reply to this and
other questions when he finds time. I would request both of you to
consider posting this on SCIT. Please feel free to quote my earlier
article if you need to, and/or add an explanatory preface as to the
origin of this discussion.
Thanks,
