I'm easy about this...What might be the best solution, is for me to send

I'm no documentation wizard ;)

Yes this is new functionality in beta1.
I've taken screenshots already :) but you can take your own if you wish...
The ones I've taken are at

I'll get the patches done pretty soon.
                
                Many thanks,
                        Glynn ;)
