Hi Frank,

This is my problem, xPL-HVISION doesn't seem to notice the variable
change until I manually "Resync" it. Up until now I've just been
looking at xPL-HVISION's debug view - I haven't tried the monitor yet,
will have a play with it tonight. (I did try using it last night but I
think it complained about a missing plugin or summat).

Who you callin' simple...? ;o)

Thanks,
Andy.
