I've failed again, I'm afraid. I wasn't being sarcastic; I have no idea
how this is done, and since I teach physics, I think that is a lacuna
in my knowledge which needs to be filled. I asked some specific 
questions about generation and distribution, and I'd really like to
know the answers to those questions.

I've only recently adopted the "smiley" (my version has a double chin)
because I was being misunderstood. I am quite vain about my command of
the language, and I had never seen a smiley in Mark Twain, so I didn't
use them, either. Now I see that it can work the other way as well.
