That's all right.
I will write it up as an example for the UKB in the next week or two 
(I'll post a link here for you when it is ready) - I think it makes 
an interesting example that some others might be interested in.

I will also have a look and see if I can include Dick's example (he 
usually comes up with some interesting ideas).

Don't worry about any more examples - I understand what you are 
saying and can explain it to others via the UKB.

  Hope people can benefit or at least find some idea from this :o)
