[texhax] 2 minipage's top alignment

[Stephane Fombonne]

Hello there,

I'm new to Latex, and I've already read through many FAQs and Googled a lot,
but I'm getting desperate...
I would like to align to minipages containing text inside ; I've been
fiddling with the pos parameter , but to no avail. 

*** I would like the baseline of the first minipage to get to the top.***

Below is the simple example. Thanks for helping!!
