Thanks for confirmation.  Then my observation about the availability of
those functions is basically right.

OK, I will wait for your reply again.

Well, I'm sorry if this is disappointing you, but I'm a male :-).  Ikumi
is my family name and Keita is the given name.  But you don't have to
feel sorry, my name is surely confusing to other people.  Indeed "Ikumi"
is quite rare as family name and sometimes used as female's given name
here in Japan.  And it is very common for Japanese people to write given
name first and family name last in English sentence, following the
convention of European and Arabic culture.  But I am simply one of
people who think the order of name should follow the style of one's own
culture.  So I write family name first and given name last, as we
Japanese always do in Japanese sentence.

Best regards,
