Firstly, I had forgotten to put the /ystyle in the command line when
I made the post, but I did include it in Wave. So the above mentioned
problem still stands. I called Wave and they agreed that there was a
bug and so a report has been logged. Funny that it has not been noticed
so far!
Thanks, David.
