Thanks for this clarification!

Where in the source (and how) could I've found that (trying to learn to find my 
way around myself, at least a little bit ...)


To avoid a possible misunderstanding by the flurry of bug reports I produce at 
the moment: I'm just making the "Grand Tour" through TDE, taking note of all 
rough edges. Please take the flood of critic reports as sign of care and 
appreciation of the project.

I will then raise a bug report concerning the documentation (which I could 
perform in english and german, given some guidance) and an improvement request 
concerning Suspend2Both ...

ciao,
