Many thanks for the above reply which has been sitting in my inbox awaiting some time to spare to explore your suggestions. It is but one of a number of issues I'd like to resolve ;) However, a recent upgrade (of sid) seemed to make the problem go away. I'm happy about that but a little irritated with myself for not having contributed to the cure ;) Regards Clive -- http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk strategies for business
