Stavros,
Thank you very much for taking your time in order to check my
findings.

indeed, these are the results I had expected; sorry for not mentioning
them... Meanwhile, I tried the script in MX 5.27.0.1 on WinXPx32:
there I get exactly these results, too.

in case the the error in my MX5.28 does not occur because that is
running on Win7Px64 as compared to my MX5.27 that is running on
WinXPPx32, the problem seems to be introduced in MX5.28. I do not know
whether two different versions of MX can be conveniently installed
side by side on any WIN???

now knowing that it is a bug I will try that tomorrow...
