   And there you have it: The 'missing' option must've been introduced in   
   SM 2.53, which is why I never saw it:  As I said, I'm on SM 2.49 (and   
   for now need it for XP compatibility in SM and FF), so that explains it.   
     But Paul's suggestion, and your detailed comments, have solved this   
   problem for me; again, thanks to both!
