Thanks very much for the info. Spent an interesting half hour trying 
various combinations, and managing only to get the international code
stripped off, until I realized I was using the default dialrules file.

To strip off the local area code from the dialstring you need to use
the dialrules.europe file.

PS dialrules.europe? Perhaps it should be dialrules.rest_of_world? 
    - No, better still -  dialrules.usa_not!   :-)
