Hello John and Thilo.

Thanks for pointing out that there should be a space between "manager" 
and the "/". I hadn't noticed it.  :(   

John, Thilo was correct in saying that it is "/" and not "./"

All is now working and I have upgraded Breezy to Dapper Flight5 using 
my Dapper CD instead of the internet.

Update-manager works well.

Sorry for the delay in sending this reply, but things were *very* 
hectic here yesterday and I had no time to try it.

There have been many suggestions in reply to my problem - even though 
it started out as an experiment. I would like to thank everyone who 
replied. What a friendly list!

Cheers
