Hi Scott, Andrei and all the others, who helped me. The link, Scott sent was 
exactly the thing I searched for. Now I know, why there are different 
expressions (like hex or decimal) and why it is working the way, it does. 

I looked for it a long time, and at last I dared to ask. As I am using linux 
now for such a long time, this thing was always a question in my mind, and I 
did not want to be a morone, to ask for it. 

However, there is always something to learn. 

Thank you very much for your help. 

Problem solved! Great!

Cheers

Hans
