Hi again Alan, You are quite right in what you say about the TW community in that they are very willing to help newcomers and the help is appreciated, yourself included.
In fact they are so helpful providing info my head is a veritable wash with new sources, tips and references that it is fairly swimming so much it is hard to concentrate one thing at a time actually. Being still new it is going to take me some time to digest 'this helping' yet once again and it is appreciated. Only hope that i can repay and pass on the favour by helping another in return one day.
