K, thanks DD32.

I was just checking to see what happens since I still want to help test the
new 2.8 when it's started & thought it would be handy to know how to get on
track with the dev versions again.

Of course the devs deserve a break first. Not too long though. :P Kidding of
course.

Thanks.
Paul.
