Hi Roger, List
Thanks that sounds ok, but now I need to know I can use this by an external program, as I try to build a letter for Lx-Office, an OpenSource ERP Programm that uses TeX for processing the output and I can not really switch in it the type how it is called, so I need more or less an indocument version for this, like the if-then-else-clauses so thanks but I think it is not the way I can use it.
