Dejan - excellent !!  Thanks for this info.  Woz' post was during the 
period I was back in the UK for my daughter's wedding, and I missed 
reading this one....

So you found, same as me, that re-start was the only answer.
Good to know that I was on the right track, but this is really un-Mac-like.
Is it not a strange state of 'evolution' when Mac users are 
(rhetorically) telling Apple that their OS is not Mac-like??

Woz - thanks for telling us about these obscure but incredibly useful 
utilities.

regards,  Trevor
