The nav bar is quite descriptive and so when you run some searches you get 7 
lines of nav bar content!!

I can't find a way in config to stop this- is there a way (except for 
frames) to say "don't index this part of the page"?

Look at robots.txt
That should do what you want, google it.

Thanks, will do. Will that do the job for Google as well or do they do their 
own?

It should work fine. BTW I don't use one myself.

Err....

this is just telling the searches to stay away from pages as a whole, I 
can't find or decipher a way to instruct;

"This is just a descriptive nav bar, ignore me and look at the page."

 Let me try again....

Not sure you can easily. And if you were to exclude the nav bar would 
the search engine indexer follow the links in the nav bar?

Perhaps the nav bar should be less descriptive and only contain links?

Have you seen it though? It's not exactly a novel it holds a standard 2or3 
word link to each page and two 2or3 word #sublinks for each.

The Zoom engine doesn't seem to look any further than nav unless you get 
precise in the search.

Packing up in a bit.
