    Ufff... O:-) Sorry for pointing this out, but I couldn't resist. No 
offense intended.

    I actually appreciate your response. Really, I mean it. But it's not 
quite what I was looking for O:-)

    Anyway, I just saw that I had another reply (this on direct email, not 
posted to the list) with more info, so if you (or anyone) wants it just 
ask. Anyway, as the helpful person said about the expression above, "It's a 
theorem, really".

    Any more takers? I still don't have any pointers to literature where 
this theorem notation is explained more fully, and I'd really like to have 
some.


    Salutaciones,
