I was going to suggest something very similar. Dirk has been very generous with his time suggesting various ways to achieve what I need, but I don't think that the current man page gives any clue about how to select and configure the options in fairly sophisticated ways if one is not already familiar with Wikipedia & wikibooks internals. I am still being lazy, well busy with other things really, so haven't yet looked at the source or tried to follow the Wiki mechanisms. ael
