Hello "afme".
You are having trouble getting help here because you are using the tools
provided incorrectly.
For example, the best format to use for emails here is plain text,
wrapped at 72 columns. Your lines are too long and as a result they get
all mangled and deformed when they are displayed in the email programs
of some of the other readers in the list.
There are a number of other conventions which are neccesary to adhere to
if you want to be successful at getting help here. Most of them are
outlined here in the Unofficial RHIL User's Guide:
http://www.rhil.org/docs/rhil-guide.html
Please note - one of the unwritten agenda items in this email list and
all email lists is that most people don't bother trying to help
or communicate with people who are actively abusing/being hostile to
the list.

You should ask for your money back. you were robbed.
Your writing style is tremendously appropriate for an insider's novella
and an absolute disaster for this venue.
In order to be successful here try this:
Be concise.
Be clear.
Be complete.
Stay focused on topic.
All the schmutz you posted (just below), is turning people away from
trying to help you. If you continue in this vein for very long, not
only will people not try to help you, they will actively lobby the
list owner to get you taken off the list.
A better, much more complete explaination of all this is in the Unofficial
RHIL User's Guide:
