Thanks much - that ought to be a big help.
Aaand FACEPALM TIME! lol; I FINALLY figured out what THEBERBSTER meant. When hitting 'E' I had seend the ship recognition sheets: "Frachter" "Frachter_02" etc. I hadn't seen the rec. manual's tab appear at the side of the screen. I just saw it now LOL.
Thanks folks; I think that was the last of my questions and successfully solved; thanks to you.
