Hi Kimberly
Thanks for the great comments. We've taken on board what you
said about the "next" and "back" buttons [omitted due to the
editor's lack of html know-how - I'm sure the webmaster will bail her
out of this one soon] - they'll reappear very soon.
And thanks for answering Michael's query too -
Best wishes
Nessa O'Mahony
