Oh, I know things will break, all right! They break, and then I try to fix 
them, and so on... then eventually, if I can't sort it out on my own or find 
the answer with google, I ask for help, and if I'm lucky I get it!

Do you think so? I thought about it, and felt, on balance, that it belonged in 
questions@ - but since you suggest it I'll certainly try them. I can scarcely 
get less help than I've had so far :(

Oh well, I'll just have to keep rebooting into Windows...

Thanks anyway,
Ben
