[Herefordshire] Buried Treasure!

[Roger Irwin]

Thanks for the reply John.
I am all for a cheap local conversion, but being a compleat klutz and a 
newby to boot, would you spell out in words of one syllable wot 'man 5 
locale' means as it sounds a distinct possibility. unless of course I 
have compleatly missed the joke, in which case I bow my head down in shame
PS.  I do not have the backslash in your position, but over on the 
extream right side, between the backspace and enter.  This definatly 
does not show when in DOS.
