Yeah, that was pointed out to me this afternoon...for some reason
the documentation hasn't been transferred over to HEAD yet.

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

                Many thanks,
                        Glynn ;)
