Thanks for the response, Keith. I somehow feel that these are not what 
the star represents because I thought the same at the time but couldn't 
see the connection.

The strange part is, I just went to check this possible association 
again and now find that all the packages which had the gold star against 
them have had the star removed! :-) . Not a star in sight. Weird.

Cheers.
