Thanks for this, I now have my content type showing in the list.  It
took me a while to track down where to set the title of the content
type in the list (in the modules workplace.properties file), but when
I found that I also cracked the labels and help too.

I'll have a look at this a little later.  Thanks.

Yes, you got me looking in the right places - very much appreciated.
