There is a useful section on the documentsonline webpage entitled 'How to interpret a record' http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/royal-navy-service.asp scroll down the page a little to find the relevant section. If you are still stuck I am happy to have a look. If you send me a PM I can provide an email address for you to send the file to. Pete
