Doug,
You're absolutely spot-on.
If I left-click on "Add Gramplet" I can then get the 
selected gramplet to appear on left-clicking it.

What has been throwing me is that on my current system 
(laptop 64-bit linux MDV 2009.1) a left-click on "Add 
Gramplet" actually causes the pop-up menu to disappear. It 
turns out you have to do a *second* left-click on "Add 
Gramplet" to bring the menu back before a gramplet can be 
selected.
The same thing is true for "Undelete". That either 
half-works or doesn't unless one double left-clicks on 
"Undelete".

Now, finally I have "Hello World". It feels like a major 
achievment!

Many thanks

Doug
