Ah, yes.  I just hadn't worked out how to get the Properties up.  In fact I've 
done it correctly, then.  One question, though.  There is a Post Office 
(shop?) with a postbox attached.  Am I correct in leaving the node selected,m 
then applying the 'shop' preset to it, defining the type as Post Office?
