Hi JRB ... I can appreciate your problems with those clues, they did give most of us a few problems.

However, just to let you know that we did open a dedicated site for Generalist some time ago, that you may find interesting....

Sorry sarumite - my pc has been playing up all week and I was unable to locate the earlier postings. Hopefully it is now fixed properly but I had to grab the brief window when it was working to ask my questions. Please may it stay fixed for the next Generalist.

Many thanks to shaneystar and athene fore their brilliant help.
