Thanks for the tip.
[Now -- you want to edit something on the front page.  You don't know WTF 
it is in local nomenclature; all you know is it's on the front page.
The only vaguely appropriate choice the Control Panel gives you is 
'Frontpage Manager'. 
What would you choose?
Oh, I see -- you're meant to scan the tiny print in the staus line at the

Ta.  I have half-a-dozen alternatives on the laptop at all times, so if we 
liaise beforehand we should be able to provide quite a few between us all.
