is this a good idea? pd comes with a set of tools, I don't see a reason 
why I should import [bang] before I can use it. I (don't) want to be 
treated like a child in a sandpit here:
"mummy, can I have the shovel?"
"say please"
"please can I have the shovel?"
"you know, my darling, this shovel is from toys "r" us... can you say, 
mummy please can I have the shovel from toys "r" us?"
"please can I have the shovel from toys "r" us?"
"cutie! say thank you"
"thank you"
"kiss mummy!"
kiss...
marius.
