Right!

( I also wrote in the beginning:

Nikos A:
..

..
)

It's just that people will likely use what the manuals suggest!

(
If my view counts a small little bit:  "tm8" rings a bell like "thematic 
mapper" which is maybe a bit confusing.
)

Sorry Jorge, don't have the time to test it now.

Thank you once again for your efforts Jorge :-)
Best, Nikos
