Ah, OK, thanks.

Great, I'll have a play with that.

OK, that feature would help me out, in the meantime I'll see if I can
bodge it somehow...

Ah, great that solves it, I had tried adding newlines and that dodn't
work, I don't know why I didn't try a space.
It might be worth documenting how to use an arraymap for multiple

quite a few hours to work this out...
