Thanks, Aaron and Christopher. It worked like a charm! Must admit I felt
rather stupid for asking after reading the "hint" that appeared after
clicking on the Beam Angle Tool....the use hadn't been immediately clear
just by looking at the icon. :)

To shorten stems on beamed notes (and move the beam along with them),
use the Beam Angle Tool in Special tools. Click on a measure, and
then move the left handle on a set of beamed notes. (Moving the right
handle will just change the angle of the beam.)

The beam on 4 beamed 8th notes doesn't move? You should use the Beam
Angle tool, not the Stem Tool. If I remember rightly, one handle
moves the whole beam (left one?) and the other only moves one end
(the right one?) for changing angles.
The stem tool would be for UNbeamed eighths, and quarters and halfs.
