Thanks Bluff. I might give it a try, although it seems inevitable that the help on techie-biased forums is usually phrased in the way Mike's is above. I'm sure that it means something to somebody, because there appear to be subjects, verbs and objects at play. But the terms mean nothing to me. I've looked at a lot of computer help stuff online, and it's usually only one chance in a blue moon that a computer person can express themselves in a way that I understand what they are saying. Too much is taken for granted by the "sender" of the message. I always used to have the same problem with maths teachers. If concepts were explained slowly and clearly and logically, then I could understand them. But if a teacher jumped from A to Z via F, bypassing the "obvious" steps of B,C,D,E etc, then I would not only not understand them, but I would also get annoyed and resentful. It set back my maths learning many years, I suspect.
