Hi Luggers,
Answered my own question. Control 1 = red channel, Control 2 = green,  
Control 3 = blue (which can be programmed to show the primary colour  
JPEG as a grayscale picture as seen though a Red, Green, or Blue  
filter. To preserve the grayscale JPEG, chosen from one of RGB, you  
must go image > mode > grayscale and answer "okay" when asked if you  
want to discard the other channels. This is now clear to me and how I  
worked in Photo 7 when I had the program set to show the primary  
colours - not the gray conversions. Sorry for the off topic subject -  
but I was converting Canon 5D images cut with Leica lenses so behind  
it all there is some Leica content. :-)
