Many thanks, As usual after a break from the task, the answer to 5d suddenly occurred to me. 31d was more taxing and whilst I had Call in mind, I could not bring myself to accept it. Once again, thank you. It just goes to prove that as one gets older, the brain does not acquire any more knowledge. or at least, in my case.
