Um...yes, that appears to be correct. Funny thing is that I'm pretty sure I read that part before I even knew what it was, then didn't read it when I was looking for it. Thanks Michael.

No problem.

I'm sure the original guide was missing that section. It is worth re-downloading the docs to check if any new updates have been added.

Glad it helped.

Michael.
