A further question Matt in response to one of your answers :-
Does the Flash have to be put in the hotshoe to synch the channels each time one wishes to use wireless synch.?

2) What is the difference between Master and Control settings on the camera. ?
3) Does the popup flash contribute to the exposure of the subject. ?
4) How do you set the camera channel to the same as the flash channel.?
5) Does the external flash zoom to match the focal length setting of the camera or does the Flash have to be set manually to the correct focal length.? Sorry there is so much but I find it all cofusing.

In manual, you can check the exposure by using the stop down lever (why is everyone intent on using the green button?) and whilst holding that down you release the shutter.!

Camera settings :- (in Custom) Using aperture ring = permitted; Green button in TAV & M = TV Shift. Exposure Mode = M, Manual Focus.
Lens used Tokina 50-200mm set to 50mm and ISO 200. Cable Release used with camera on tripod. I focussed on the house across the road I then did a series of exposures from f3.5 down to f16 in half stops, pressing the green button before each shot. These are the recorded exposures at each setting :- F3.5 =1/4000, F4 =1/2000, F5.6 = 1/750, F6.3 = 1/500, F8 = 1/250, f8+ = 1/180, F11 = 1/125, f11+ = 1/90, f16 = 1/60.
At F3.5 slight under exposure, F4 about right then getting progressively more and more over exposed down to F16. It would appear to be getting the recorded exposure value about correct but the actual exposure wrong. What is going on.? I don't know if people think my method was sensible enough to give any conclusive results, if not can anyone suggest a better method.? I would like to try the experiment again with a fixed focal length prime lens but unfortunately I do no possess one. What do people think.

Also thanks to Manesty for reply, I had in fact upgraded the firmware to 1.10 on the day it was released.

As a matter of interest do you know if there is a limit to the length of of USB2 extension cable which may be used when with the REMOTE Assistant Software and a K10D in this set up. ?
