....well, that might help...provided the option still works on a gray option,
and tells the user what the prerequisite actually is that's currently unset.
Otherwise,
a torrent of "what does it mean when an option is grayed out? How do I fix
this?"
questions are likely to be observed....

Not a problem, if only to confirm the problem existed, it was worth it. As to
the speed finding & fixing the issue, I personally thought things happened
pretty fast to arrive at the eventual resolution. I think Stefanik deserves an
extra cookie of credit here for having the idea to substitute sprom images.
Everyone who helped out gets cookies as well for outstanding effort. (;
..next, I can move onto my original notion of using one of these cards in AP
mode...

That is a disappointing outcome -- I'd understand you feeling you're like the
victim
of some form of nationalistic prejudice in such circumstance...ie; if I'd
written a book
adhering to the spelling examples contained in the Australian Macquarie
lexicon, I
would expect what was published still to be in that original form. I'm typically
ambivalent of/to the spelling differences you speak of, so I am truly apologetic
if that stance has upset/affronted you or anyone else on this list.
