Boy, did THAT drive my spell checker wacky!  :-)  I'm curious, 
though, why "vertehen" didn't get flagged, but when I corrected the 
typo to "verstehen", it did.  And why did "Zeitschrift", 
"Bestellungen" and "Postfach", among others, get off scot free?

It is not given to mankind to understand computers.
