Hi Ivan, The submit button has worked!!!!
You are right that it is counterintuitive and I have been well trained not to submit things to CRAN that contain errors :-) I agree that something like "Package uploaded" would be better than "No file chosen" in Stage 2, afterall I have chosen a file. Thanks very much for your help. All's well that ends well.
