Thanks, Vincente - and Stefan, for the Florilegium pointers.  I didn't
check the Florilegium first because my dratted system has denied me web
access for the last four days - but it's up again this morning, so I have
prowled the Florilegium and am now all set for wetting this feast!

many thanks all round,
