Ah, I see, so it's not me just being stupid

Well, I'll need to switch between V1 and V2 now anyway (I use those scripts so often). If it's just a temporary fix, that might not be worth the effort. If you think its valuable and would help me sort other scripts out (even temporarily) please do, otherwise don't. I'll just have to be more patient and should not get in your way.

It's just that I've already grown attached to V2 :-)
Thanks,
Inge
