Many thanks magoo2 -- I bought another book published/authored by QSB, one of their spiral-bound series and it's a good general guide I must say. It's a bit thin in some areas but, generally good. I was having a brain fade with what I suppose is a simplpe Minitab area (Cause & Effect diagram) and it wasn't much halp, but a delve into some other training material helped out.
I should have found that Minitab.com site shouldn't I? Don't know how I managed to pass that one by, but thanks for the ref, I've just been there and found some very instructional stuff.
Cheers !
Bill
