To tell you the truth, I don't know what 'rasberries' are( if not eating
raspberries, of course! ). I've seen that referred to on the list, but I
have no idea of what that is. Could you please...?

I'd already noticed that, but the problem was not what for ,but how! As was
said some time ago, although Seth's book describes one exercise as
'bbbbbbbb' it's actually 'bubububububububub'. "What a difference a U
makes..."
