Used the jump menu as is from DW, never used it before, (bit of a novice
really)

Target audience is usually >70years, many requests for a way back to the
originating page etc, short of framesets etc new windows are the easiest
option for my little brain!!
Only other way I did this was to have am <iframe> of links within the
main links page. However all suggestions taken onboard (pardon the naval
pun)and shortcomings acknowledged.
Many thanks again.
