At last I figured out by myself...Hurrah! this works...Its not rocket
science as told by Sybrand..but there are somethings which might have
been overlooked upon while reading the documentation...People spend
more than 10 hours to figure out a simple problem which might take
just a minute to fix..but the knowlegdge of how to fix it is what
matters at last...and I agree that there might be people looking our
for help without doing anything....Having said that there is no harm
in helping out someone who is in need, even if he is just out there
for help without trying for himself doesnt hurt anything :-) Just my
thoughts...
