Hi Andy, Steve and Dave Thanks for the replies, I see from the initials that you (Andy) are the person who posted this solution in the first place. I didn't realise that the last line had wrapped, the spindle-index-enable line isn't wrapped normally, must have happened when pasting into the

Unfortunately, something went wrong with internet access at the workshop, so we've been without for most of the past 2 days. I'm at the hotel now, which is the only reason I can post this :) I don't know whether we'll have access tomorrow, so commits and IRC participation may be spotty. - Steve
