Hi Ron, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but once I got this link from Nicholas; I could think of no one better to actually test it (I just didn't tell you :P ) You had a doubt of your use, I told you that being a new tester would be invaluable. So it has proven. Nicholas is on vacation, but I know he will take your comments on board once he returns.
thanks to every one who has so far replied, for every one else who has not; please do go have a look at it and give some comments to improve it. Thanks, Phill.
