Barney, thanks for the info. Yes, I am also an art lover, I once studied it
at North Staffs Poly. I try not to be pretentious, but it's a fine art...

I knew of the right-click trick, but had never thought of using it to get
at .pdf files - cheers! Sometimes I find other data presented as part of a
web page doesn't survive being saved as 'web page, complete' - so I just
copy and paste into Word or Notepad instead.

Was William related to Francis?
