@Kelduum Great, it worked - eventually. When I ran the update yesterday it bombed then hung, broke the terminal sess. Unfortunately my notes, recall and the history got mangled so I can’t reproduce exactly, but here is where it failed at first in the event it says anything useful, Paul. Suffice to say it looks like it is all working, despite my efforts to break it. Thanks again.
