Dear Philippe, dear Rene
Thank you both for your last comments which are very helpful.
I did not realize the difference between adding a TTree* and
adding the treename as string.
(My suggestion was only a late-night thought.)
BTW, in my "real" program I am managing my own lists in addition
to the list of friends and I will try Rene´s suggestion.
Best regards
Christian
