Hi Al,

sorry its taken so long to get back on this, and now I see both urls are 
page unavailable now, so dont know what is going on there. I tried 
installing secure-delete, it says its installed, but I its not in any of 
the drop down menus. Do you know how I can find it to start it, or is 
now gone.

Thanks.

John.
