Thanks for your reply.
I found out that TB 9 was available via the TB newsgroup, and yes, I
updated via Help > About > Check for Updates.

It's quite possible that there was such a prompt, and it's quite
possible that I didn't pay proper attention to it, but I can't remember,

I'm used to add-ons sorting themselves out successfully after TB

an exception. I'll try and remember to pay better attention to start-up
prompts in future.

It's possible that I was in offline mode, but unlikely.
