Thanks for your quick reply, Martin! I'll try it when I get back from
work. I've already read a couple of things about that remapping, but
haven't understood it completely yet. I just started using ARM a couple
of days ago and I've just managed to blink some LED's and to read some
buttons so far. No interrupts yet, but I'll get there....

thanks by now ...
