Thanks Sarah and Alex.  I tried using different combinations of the Status 301
line and the 'put new header' command.  It is the Status 301 line that makes
 the difference.  Using Sarah's example

         put header "Status: 301 Moved Permanently"
         put header "Location:" && tMobilePage

works equally well as

         put new header "Status: 301 Moved Permanently"
         put new header "Location:" && tMobilePage

So 'new' does not seem to make a difference here.  Is there a 
situation where the 'new' would be required?

Thanks again

Martin
