All filled in, the name of the pseudonym (the longer one) is highlighted and I've got the setter.
But, what I don't understand is: "while the equivalent remnants of the pseudonym of the other must be highlighted in an unclued entry"
Could someone point me in right direction - thanks

The setter's name is the pseudonym, slightly altered, of the longer name.
The shorter name also has a pseudonym - if you alter it (in the same way that everything else has been altered), you will be left with a v short word/couple of letters. This appears in one of the unclued entries - I don't have the paper now, but I think it was in the top left corner.Does this help?

Hi Neveracrossword, I have the longer pseudonym's real name starting in the top left hand corner.
The shorter pseudonym I have a three letter word that is the setter, if I then shorten that I have his real initials, is that what I have to highlight? If so they are in a normal (not uncled ) answer, or am I on the wrong track completely?
The longer name's pseudonym is the setter - just remove one letter.
The shorter name's pseudonym has three letters - if you remove one, you are left with 2 letters, and these are at the start of one of the unclued answers ( a down answer). That was the other bit of highlighting I did.
Ripper: You do really need to find the shorter real name. For this purpose the central letter in the grid is paramount., as it is for the longer name.

Thank you both, the penny has (finally) dropped!
Thanks again
Ripper, glad you got there in the end! You were obviously so close to completing this, I didn't want to just give the actual answers.
