That fixed it!  Works as expected now.  Very good eye!

Not that I've been able to find (using "C-h a html-helper-mode-map" 
and other things).

I'll have a go at this later.  I've got to spend a little more time on 
doing real (paying) work.


Oliver,

Thanks again for everything... very much appreciated.  You're magic.
