I see. :)

But it's only for personal use and to try to better understand CL
(i just started to learn). So security is surley an issue but not
the most important at the moment to me.

I thought about this already before my post. Maybe i'm too much
used to think in C++, because this solution looked to me too
inflexible (or a bit too much work for a first try).

But thanks to your suggestions i will play a while with this
idea. Thank you very much for pushing me in the right direction.
