Ok - help here is so freely given usually that it can make one lazy. Yes, I
can make a test case and will do so, but I do enjoy posting questions
because so often I have benefited by the throw away replies that experts add
to even straight forward questions. Sometimes I get more out of the
off-shoots from a posting than the primary answer. However, I will try to be
more self-reliant in future. I consider myself properly ticked off.
