That's very kind of you to say so but I can't remember when I had the last
one
or what it was !!!!

Well, I'd thought of that too but ......

because of the above, I'm straying into entirely unfamiliar country. I
haven't
a clue about things called java apples, HTML, Unix and all the rest. My
best attempts
at web authoring is bashing it out into MS Word or Publisher and then let
the 
program do the conversion work. Too often my efforts look just like a
Reliant
Robin van with an inop rear mounted turbocharger and about as user friendly
as a
cornered rat! I suppose I ought to get hold of a piece of dedicated
software which
meets my total incompetence criteria but turns out a convincing and
user-friendly
finished result. So I must appeal to a HIGHLY specialised group, i.e.
people who 
FULLY understand Triumph quirks and foibles yet who can guide me safely and

confidently through the software jungle.
In my simple way, this is akin to driving a Mk I 2 litre Vitesse (Sports
Six) blindfolded
at 100mph plus, on ice in Berkeley Square - in rush hour traffic.
Anyone got any suggestions - and in a language I can understand?
