Thanks Ralph,
I had looked at /transpose but failed to make it work in the way I wanted &
given up on it. In view of your comments I went back & read a little deeper. I
seem to have got my test bit working & am now doing the whole arrangement.
I am finding finding my way round the manuals a bit convoluted at present &
merging info from one section into a script styled on another very hit & miss.
No doubt it will get easier.
Many thanks for your help.
Steve
