that was her name :-(

     Yes. if you do then I think everything will be consistent with  
naming also, TSCreate_RK etc. (Remember to update the changes file  
dev.html)

    Please do not make the change in the users manual, I've made some  
big changes I cannot yet push that I don't want to deal with a merge  
for.


    Thanks
