I’m a little disappointed at the lack of traffic in this specific forum. I was hoping for an answer to what should be a trivial question. On other forums I would have been sorted by now.
Other than that, as you say it isn’t especially intuitive and if you leave it for a while and forget some of the operations it’s like working out a computer game challenge.
