Sorry, I'm at the stage where I don't know enough to know where to direct my questions.

Great, that's worked a treat (and enabled me to sort out some other missing packages too). I think I've got enough working now to go away and experiment and hopefully next time I ask my questions will be more sensible! Before I go, I have one more gem though ;-) Barry referred before to writing bash scripts and I've found some useful info on that and can call my scripts from the bash console, but is there away to double click on a file in Windows and have it invoke the bash console and execute my script?
