I didn't understand the "filename" in the SECONDARY syntax so I left mine as it
was and when I added the RR's for initialization following his example, my
system initialized properly and is now answering queries.  It's not answering 
all of them, but that is probably fine tuning of START.DAT, the main thing is that 
it is up and answering now!!!   :-)

Loads of thanks to Rok, I appreciate his concern.
