Thanks Gary for your support.
Indeed that was my doubt...I wondered if there could be anything *important*
in the new version, although I have been used, until now, to continuously
finding new versions of software via the windowsupdate site ;-)

Now I will go looking for the new features you're talking about and see if
they can be useuful to me.

Thanks again for your help,
(and to anyone else who has replied,or will, to my post)
