It's good advice for sure, however not practicable at the moment. As I
said, this laptop is not net-accessible, and I just needed to get a job
done. According to the requirement list, I'd have to update php, expat,
mysql version! - surely a case of the tail wagging the dog? - and even
xorg, pretty much everything. Not really doable on a 28.8k modem link.
So, given my broadband application is on 'hold' awaiting local enabling
which might take months, I'm going for a 6.1 4-CD set as soon as they're
available; packages and/or distfiles is really the only way to go for
those (still many) parts of the planet without fast, cheap connections.

I did start again from scratch; no difference. Still can't believe that
such a show-stopper bug wouldn't have obviously affected many phpmyadmin
users on 5.4 - people do use it to edit records, don't they? - so still
have to suspect some local config issue. Tried another browser and all.

Yes, read every one since 2.6.1; nothing that struck me as even similar.
Anyway, thankyou Matthew for your helpful advice and clues.
Cheers, Ian
