Since I normally use .deb files to add new packages whenever they are 
available, I am surprised that you do not advise it. I don't normally 
have any problems. However, I am quite happy to use a terminal screen.

I did as recommended above and it now is fine. Thanks. I have noticed 
that I now have version 2.4.0. As and when small updates appear, eg 
2.4.01 or some such, how will I update it? Or will it now appear in 
updates automatically?

Regards

Neil
