Hi Russell - thanks very much for that!  
 ( My apologies too for not reading the faq.... ) 

Hmm... it doesn't seem to work for me.  When I try to apply the new 
colour, I just get the six-character hex code for the
colour appearing in the editor.  I think I'll try to upgrade to a more 
recent version - that might fix it....
Thanks again - bye for now -
