I (Bill) don't find this at all hard to see - in fact it's what I
envisaged, but didn't think to specify.

Nice thought, Pete - but I don't see anything wrong or difficult with
John's 'right-justified' version - in fact I prefer it, though either

Either way, it would be very helpful, especially with Prune, therefore hope
it will move from the 'wish list' to the 'to do list'. Malcolm? John?
