Eric, Thanks for taking the time to answer this in so much detail, again, it's given me not only a solution but something to learn too.
I'm going to make those changes and I'll report back. I wonder why this workaround isn't in the core? There is probably a consequence that I wont see until I start playing with it though. What I love about Tiddlywiki is that there always seems to be several ways of achieving a functional result in a creative way. Thanks again, I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers, Geoff.
