good grief, Kino! Many thanks. I *knew* it was something like that, I 
right clicked on it, snd I simply couldn't "see" it!

Many thanks. It was the visual equivalent of a mosquito bite -- 
irritating but not really harmful (unless it is a malarial mosquito 
or the conveyor of some other disease!).
