Ok. So if I get rid of the "exclusive" keyword this indeed works fine.
Maybe I started from a bad example that I didn't fully understand. What
exactly is the "exclusive" keyword supposed to accomplish? And why
*does* the context change happen when using that keyword as in the
example I gave? Is that supposed to happen?

Would you happen to have a pointer where I can read up on the syntax
file syntax? Thanks.

Leonard.
