 * I’ve looked at the 1.5 loop example in the codex and find it singularly unhelpful.
   I would be really grateful if someone could provide an example of extracting 
   data from the 1.5 loop … the old way still works but I’m trying to get with the
   programme:). I’ve tried the following without success.
 * if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()):the_post();
    echo $post->post_content;
   endwhile; endif;

 * I’m not sure of the problem, because that does work for me:
 * `if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
    echo $post->post_content;
   endwhile; endif;

 * Thanks for having a look Kafkaesqui. What I needed to add, but didn’t think was
   relevant, was that I’m doing this via the Smarty template engine of WPMU. But
   it may be, which kind of leaves me stumped.
