Can I add my voice to Murray's, please? Off-hand, I didn't know either. Though I did have a record of how I did it before. A simple link: www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Beta/Install would have had me do the job there and then. Not left it - as I did - till I'd time to fuss around.
The question to ask is: does Jsoftware want to encourage beta testing?
