Hi Myriam

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply. 

I think that I over complicated my search by adding too many terms.  
When i attempt a more straightforward search, you are quite right it 
returns several useful leads.  That'll teach me!

I've downloaded the diff file, but feel a little overwhelmed at applying 
it, so will - as you suggest - "nag" the upstream maintainer.

Once again, thank you for your assistance.

Best

AG
