Ty for those comments. Hmm, I did try it out before posting of course, and I've just tried it again to make sure I hadn't boobed with a typo. It seems my ISP is running 8.0.8 and it's definitely not working on that. It *is* in the 8.0.13 documentation also though... So now I'm off to beg them to upgrade.
Hmm - should work in any 8.0.x, the development team don't add new features in point releases. I'm not sure if this feature wasn't there in 7.4 too.
Might be a bug affecting you though - could be worth checking the release-notes in the back of the manual.
