Yup, got that thanks. Unfortunately the emails in my other thread
referencing this came in while I was writing the start of this thread -
otherwise I would have saved a few posts to the list! I read them
immediately after hitting send and, having considered the 'if only I'd
been a little slower' factor, considered replying to my own post. I got
side tracked onto other things though.

Thanks for the polite and patient corrections though. Sometimes anyone
can feel like a newbie :) I've been using computers for 25 years,
working with them for 16, using Linux for 10, Debian for 6 and XFCE for
just over 2 - and there's still sooo much to learn!
