Thank you very much! Exactly what I needed!

Incidentally, I've been reading the Wikipedia entry for the B and the B+ 
- and it seems that the WE card adds exactly the same extra RAM as if 
you traded-in a B for a B+. Are there any other differences (the article 
also says that B+s had floppy controllers fitted as standard), or does 
this card effectively make my B a B+?

Cheers,

Kris.
