Thanks for the explanation, and the offer to help. I am not a developer. Sorry I do not think I will have time to follow this up, now, to that detail: am going on holidays, for four weeks starting this weekend, and will not have computer access during that time. If the issue is still outstanding in July then I will work on it again, and may ask for your help then.
