Yes I accept that it would probably be better to keep the overall email traffic down.

I am not on PBP every day so it might be helpfull for somebody like me. I have to admit that I do tend to leave major upgrades either hardware or software for as long as possible to try a keep a longer period of stability to work in. Therefore I should check regularily for patches.

As to the syntax........ well spotted. I just checked the new and old manuals to see where I have got it into my head to use ( ) in defining an array. It is certainly not there. I seem to have used it like that for years, obviously a bad habit......... but not any more
