THANK YOU!
Changed the RewriteCond to
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.shtml -f
...and now it is working (and the logic now makes sense to me :) !!!)
Thought (obviously incorrectly) I had read that when using .htaccess you
didn't need fully qualified paths.
Best Regards
Don

You should pass an absolute filesystem path to -f and -d.
