Thank you, Henrique. I still have access to the box. Not immediately - but no-one will change anything unless I am there. But whatever is or is not assumed, it wasn't asked to remove anything. It was asked to add one thing which in now way depended on anything removed. That is what puzzles me. And the rest of the time it was asking as one would expect!! But I will look and let the list know! If there is, what then? And why did ctrl-C have no effect at all? Lisi
