Many thanks for your help, George, it is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 - 186. I have its manual in pDF format (I could send a copy off list if that would help), but it seems to cover a range of models and says that some of the things it describes may not apply to all models. The term "Tecra" also occurs from time to time - I don't know what that is. As you may have seen from my reply to Chris, he thinks that I am almost there- but!
