Hi Doug.

That was the whole purpose of my doing the sample in my playpen - so
that others could see clearly what was being suggested.
As I indicated in a previous email I believe this links question is just
a subset of a much larger one and whilst I am very keen on perfection(!)
I am also very well aware that the wiki docs need a lot of work and that
is perhaps more important.  But I consider that is all for much more
experienced minds to decide. 
Perhaps I would not have bothered (with the links) if my previous work
had not been deleted overnight and I did not feel the need to have
achieved something more!
Your opinions are always appreciated at this end - thanks for the
reply.  Regards Martin
