Ah, that gave me the clue to find it ....

The form at the bottom of the page had become 2 overlapping forms,
so looking at (near the bottom):

	/listinfo.html

I saw:

      <TD COLSPAN="2" WIDTH="100%">
	<MM-Options-Form-Start>
	<MM-Editing-Options>
         <p>
	<MM-Roster-Form-Start>
	<MM-Roster-Option>
	<MM-Form-End>
	<p>
	<MM-Form-End>
      </td>

Once I fixed it to:

      <TD COLSPAN="2" WIDTH="100%">
	<MM-Options-Form-Start>
	<MM-Editing-Options>
	<MM-Form-End>
        <p>
	<MM-Roster-Form-Start>
	<MM-Roster-Option>
	<MM-Form-End>
      </td>

It all worked.

So the problem was that there were 2 elements called 'language' in the form.
Many thanks for the clue.

Regards
