Hi Bernhard,

Thanks for the feedback.

The ref tag in brackets is added by the rules in
resources/styles/default/lines so you can change it to suit your own
requirements. For me, how it is at the moment is OK.

Right, I shall look into that.

OK - if you find out where the time's going, please say.

Cheers,
