Hi ya Bloke,

Sorry to hear you're down again.  Get well soon - you'll feel better ;-) .

Thanx for the above.  I discovered that Albany is YABA, but now I can't 
find out how to get it in the relevant database/txt file.  I thought 
that it could be done in the applet, but alas no.  I found 
~/.kde/share/config/KWeatherServicerc, and 
~/.kde/share/config/panelappletrc but adding YABA to either/both of them 
doesn't have it show up in the applet.

Tia
