Thanks to all of you who replied to this question with both your "pure" and "dirty" answers. I have just (in the last 5 mins) discovered that my original mentor, Alex, (the supplier of the original Component) is back in town and is this very minute emailing me another copy of it. That is the best solution of all - and I can now delay a little longer the need to learn how to make my own component! Thanks again, your help is appreciated.
