Well, that worked. At last. Thank you.
But I ***do*** follow instructions. I had been following instructions,
and they weren't working. These instructions are slightly/subtly different
from what I had previously been told to do.
As to the ``regular instructions from FAQ/R-admin'' --- that's all very well
if you know where to look and what the relevant issues are. When you don't,
it makes searching for a needle in a haystack trivial by comparison.
Thanks again for getting my problem sorted.
cheers,
