No, I hadn't - though I have now read it. I had in fact given up (for
various reasons, including the fact that I have to get it back to the
owner) and reinstalled. I am now restoring home etc.
I am still very grateful for your help - and next time I have the
problem I shall know what to do. Moreover the archives are now more
useful. :-)
Thanks,
