Thanks, John. Your e-mail got buried in the pile from Scribus on all topics, but from your reference to PSutils I tracked down a Wiki page at
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/How_to_make_a_booklet Which has given me all the information I need to do the trick out of Scribus. Quite why my earlier Googling didn't throw this up I don't know, but in any case, thanks for the clue.
