It does - thanks a lot.  It doesn't seem the most obvious place for
them to have put it, but never mind.  And I don't see any way of
getting rid of the icons, but I don't want to do that any way.

Funny thing is, I'm sure I used to have bigger icons in the menu until
it got too cluttered, then I made them smaller.  But I can't for the
life of me remember how it was done.

Thanks again.
