But if it is the > fog, why the strange definition? x1 is the foggy region, x2 is the liquid; there is no place for the fog or vapor itself. The keyword is "fog" because it's short, unique, and vaguely relevant, which are the criteria by which the keywords were assigned. They are *not* definitions. To refer to the fog or vapor itself, use febvi or gapci. -- A poetical purist named Cowan [that's me: jcowan@reutershealth.com] Once put the rest of us dowan.
