Many thanks. I knew as I grumbled that it was churlish of me, and that
manuals were probably available. Doubly churlish, in fact, as I was
celebrating last night their crunching the tar to such a size that the
download was reasonable even for a 1.2K-a-second Nokia 6150.
PS: Thanks to Chris Higgins for his assistance in getting the phone
a-dialling, despite the fact that his mail server doesn't like me and
bounces my mail.
