Cheers for that.., You might have seen my reply to a previous responder who suggested the same as you. I just had a subsequent question on confirming that I should indeed be using the "standard-supfile" as I planned. Could I ask you to verify that this supfile is the one to use (as against stable-supfile, that is) in this case, please?

Thanks again.
