hi,

it works but does not produce the result i need.
this would create the tree
($ .1)
instead i need the tree
($ . 1)

in fact i do not need DOT to be part of the tree. just to display the
difference. ($ 1) would suffice.

.1 is just a float literal
$.1 is a positional notation: "the first element in $"

another reply gave me the hint to check the provided Java and C 
Grammars.
i will check this way.

thanks a lot,
  alphonse
