[Openmcl-devel] prompt-for-file (embarrassing question)

[Dimitri Simos]

Horror of horrors, I hope I didn't sound as if I was suggesting Max 
shouldn't be heard!!
I thought it best to avoid steering the list off-topic (having sprinkled 
it with some of my random comments).

Max and I exchanged a couple of emails and I believe we're in fact on 
the same wavelength (I hope he'd agree), well within engineering 
tolerances. I shall now cease and desist and run away. Absolutely thanks 
for sharing.
