   That should do it - thanks for reminding me.

   Yes that is set for 24554 but I do not know what actually this does in    
   relation   
   to mbse.   
      
   Documentation is a bit poor on this in the mbse docs.   
      
   I will stick to your first idea - well at least until it doesn't work, that    
   is.
