and these greeks: vomma and vamma? fuxhunter

Thanks ruso....In wilmott´s book, the vega for digitals is:e^-r*tN´(d2)*(sqrt(time)+d2/vol)since i have to terms where S is present (N´(d2) and d2) I find it hard to derive it myself....all the tricks I know to derive the greeks seem no to fit in here.I just need Vanna (i.e dv/ds)THANKS AGAIN!
