No luck I'm afraid, Jim, but thanks for the try. Just in case it saves you any problems if you're using an old printed manual the latest HTML help does have this particular syntax the other way around - but I still tried your suggestion <g>. In some ways I miss the old manuals and I still refer to my v5.5 ones but I keep finding that so much has changed that it's nearly always followed by looking at the newer version - old habits die hard, I guess!!
