Thanks to all three of you for your input.  I do now understand what is wrong, 
but can't work out how to put it right.  

I did as you suggested, Dave.  But by the time I was able to get to my 
computer and read it, the others' replies had come in.  So I ran it mainly to 
learn how to do it.  And I am not entirely sure that I would have understood 
the result if I hadn't already known what it was meant to be saying!!

I started to say that I would just have to wait, but on second thoughts I'll 
fast forward as suggested, and then go back to do the missing sections.
