Thanks very much Paul.  Does help if you read the information properly doesn't 
it, (smile).  And yes, it does work.  But why the necessity to use the enter 
key after the alt nomination?  Well, I'll mention that to Ian off-list.

I'd say its definitely an improvement on what went before, but I still prefer 
the stand alone Real player, if I have to use Real Player that is.
