Thanks, did not know about that trick. I left my home page alone as I
still want to go there sometimes. Instead I used the 'On startup open
the following page' option. That works, thanks again.

However, that still leaves me with the other niggle. In FF and Opera I
have the *option* to start with a blank page instead of having to wangle
it as above. In both browsers if I have opened a web page as the only
one and then close the tab I go back to a blank page and the browser
stays open, which is what I want.

In Chrome if I have only one web page open and close the tab the whole
browser exits and I am back at the desktop. Not what I want. I shall
have to get used to always opening any web site as a new tab, leaving
the blank tab in place.
