Glad in a way that I'm not alone, Joan. And yet Tom got
through to it OK.

George, thanks very much. I'll definitely phone that
helpline though I don't
know if they'll still be open.
Your description of what was happening coincides with mine
though of course
I didn't get that helpline message.
I used to have no problem with this site though.
The marvels of progress! (smile).
Best wishes,
Joan.
