Hello Marck,

Gosh this programme is full of unexpected features. I've just noticed
that because TB! opened at my last message to you just now and you are
right - a very useful feature.

I've tended to shy away from that so far, enough to learn already, but
I'll give it a go. Thanks for those tips, always good to learn and you
don't half learn with this programme and all the advice from the
