[stringtemplate-interest] Newby question on lists

[Wolfgang Ponikwar]

Hi,

I am sorry, but please disregard my previoous mail. It seems like I 
should have thought more deeply before writing the mail. I have found my 
mistake just a minute after I have sent the message.
Again, sorry for bothering.

Kind regards,
Wolfgang
