James, it seems to me to be some time since I saw your name here (but 
maybe that's just my memory!), but that's why I'm giving you the main 
kudos here (why should Katrina get it all just because she's our 
usual saviour?) - plus the fact that you suggest a reason!

On the other hand, Katrina writes 'Do you see that or is that off the 
screen for you too?' and in so doing she too hits the nail on the 
head because my answer is 'No, I don't, and yes, it is'.

Does it make the problem more, or less, curious, if I now tell you 
that /now/ I see what you two see - and can accordingly drag the 
image to where I can see the whole thing!? I should add straight away 
that I have not closed down and restarted the computer in the 
meanwhile. The whole thing is a mystery. Not being a believer in God 
(despite, as you see, using a capital), I can only attribute this to 
a gremlin (note lack of capital) in my computer... (Of course, it's 
still entirely possible that this was an act of God... The fact that 
I don't believe in God doesn't mean God doesn't exist.) (I'm trying 
to cover what I believe is called 'all bases'...)

All very odd, but that gets no one anywhere so let's all just forget 
about it, shall we? :-)

Harry
