Hi, Hannes,

i explained in my reply to Trygve that I kept missing the fact the "menu" is a 
"popup menu", I kept searching in the "red halo menu" on the SRE object 
rectangles...a "mental block :("

After that I was able to follow the Collaboration diagram creation for a large 
part so far

Thanks for your reply, Milan

(sorry i sent this earlier to your mail instead of the list .. )
