all of a sudden the parameters dials on the RH side of the Studio interface have gone. How do I get them back? Thank you

In the top toolbar Windows>Pane(Tabs) and see if it is in there if you click on it then it will reappear

I did that and still no dials.

Can I see a screenshot of your interface please?

Is there a skinny little bar on the right side of the window with an arrow pointing toward the center on it (the arrow is small and in the vertical center of the bar). If so, then you accidentally collapsed that side bar. Just click the little arrow and it will expand back into place. If you didn't collapse it, it's also possible that you accidentally dragged the width of the sidebar to be hidden. Ti fix that, move your mouse slowly toward the skinny bar until you see the cursor change. You should then be able to drag the skinny bar toward the center. This will expose your sidebar.

On a related subject, kinda, how do you get out of the Full Screen Mode(in 4.8)? Talking about the main Viewport pane in the center where my scenes are. I couldn't figure out how to do that last weekend & had to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of DS altogether.

On the Mac, there is the menu option: Window->Full Screen Mode (it doesn't change when you go into full screen mode). When I clicked that, the interface returned to the way it was before I switched to Full Screen mode. I have never known about that mode, but I think it will be useful!

I forgot to add that I'm using Windows, not Mac.

Hi Mark

That key-stroke got removed at some point which leaves people trapped, as you've noticed.

F3 should still work. That will get you to the customize dialog, where you can put in a new key-stroke. The old one used to be shift-F11

Can you confirm that before I do that & get trapped again?
