Oh you're so right Rutra - the comparison chart says v7comp should have it...So  I just tried it again and it works...What went wrong yesterday? must have been a bug in my brain's software, not v7... :)
Good, one less to report - I have a little que forming, including the drop command sometimes drops things on their side (ie it rotates the item in addition to translating); it's a bit dislexic - if I type into a numeric (or text) field the order of the digits/letters is wrong unless I type really very slowly (it is not my fingers, after a few times I watched my fingers carefully).
Oh it is so much fun.....

"I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence."
