Oops, you're right. :-) I've only read sekel's response and wasn't considering he might answer in portugues when the question was in spanish.
One can learn a lot in the Lazarus Forums ;-)
We spanish and portuguese speaking people manage to understand each other, and even have conversations with one speaking one language and the other, the other language =)
I´ve done this quite often. I could try to answer in spanish, but my answer would likely be full of grammar mistakes, so I thougth this would be better.
There are even immigrants in Brazil, from other south american countries, that seam to never learn portuguese, even after years. They manage to get along with just spanish!
