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 
presentation would be very acceptable.

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?
