Thank you for that -  i can;t believe i spent ages over this and finally
wrote to the list for the sake of a misread page and a typo :-(
I am feeling suitably stupid !

oh - bother!
That has, however,  saved me me a lot of time as i would have assumed that
indexing with a rule name would have worked.
Presumably, the rules are indexed in the sequence in which they occur (no
need to answer that, i'll experiment) - but it does seem very strange -
surely it's *obvious* we'd want to access these things by name?

Many thanks, and apologies for asking a simple typo question!
