Hi Al Tee
Sorry I gave you slightly misleading info for setting up flash in my previous posts, I have just found my own set of instructions hidden away amongst my voluminous data files, I have copied it below, hope it's of use to you. If you have any further queries please let me know!

SB24 Flash setup for standard TTL
Set up camera, connect off camera flash lead (SC17) if in use to Main Flash or attach flash to camera directly, switch on camera, switch on main flash – select standard TTL, (Pulsating symbol on flash display).
When camera is switched on and an AF electrically coupled lens is in use, flash is controlled by the settings on the camera and on the lens. Metering, compensation, film speed, shutter speed is adjustable in manual mode only, ( the camera sets shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/250 in all other modes). If you want to set shutter speeds lower than 1/60 on the camera to enable lighting control, (such as dark backgrounds), then it is only possible using manual mode on camera body. The lens sets the apertures in manual mode, some programme modes and aperture priority only. AF electrically coupled lens sets aperture and focal length on flash unit.
Flash charge indicator, (lightning bolt symbol in camera viewfinder) winks after flash fired, (the period of winking increases depending on amount of power required, will continue winking if flash strength is insufficient for set up), goes out until flash is recharged, then lights up steadily when ready to fire.
