   James,   
      
   Thank you for the kind comments. Also, thanks for the feedback,   
   especially the point about the answers being hidden. What I may do is   
   make the answers optionally hidden, and make them visible when the   
   question is clicked, using DHTML.   
      
   Thanks again!   
      
   Cheers   
   Rory
