 you know what's being talked about, for some reason.

   :) I'll be happy to. I just don't know how accurate my=
 explanation was. I do not claim to know what a closure is. Never=
 read a single definition of it. This whole explanation is, at=
 best, an educated guess built from all the contexts where I've=
 heard it mentioned.

   I'll wait for some confirmation from somebody who knows.

   No problem. There's nothing like trying to explain something=
 to be able to understand it more fully :)
