Hi Bill

I did this but nothing happened after pressing OK! Yes, I get the new listing.

Yes, I did this as well. Because again nothing happened, I assume that the

Very interesting! In fact an 'images' directory was not present! I then copied
the directory across and all is now well!

Only leaves the puzzle as to why they did not copy across using the program
'extras' option!
