[Roy Sowa]

JS, 
  There was/is a big diff between the two , so I copied your version over  to test...
   Cleared the mason.... stop/started the web and  repeated my tests...
    Works !!!!
    I will now go through the diffs and try an understand it all ;-)

    Many thanks for your quick help   ( this list rocks )
