Re: [ROOT] Bug in THbook* interface classes

	Hello Rene,
	Again I must remind you that in THbook* interface we have a 
problem that sometimes make this classes unusable or half-functional.

       Even if you try to read ANY value from the N-tuple you wouldn't 
succeed. Of course while you using only "Draw" functionality everythings 
seem to be OK.
      You can say that I must use ROOT-files instead, but for me it is not 
feasible.	

     So please check THbook* for this malfunction. Thank you.
		
			Stanislav.
