As a plain user (That's of RISC OS, not illegal substances) I only need to
look inside the works when something goes wrong. However, I do find the logic
of where things should go in the !Boot a bit daunting. There are modules in
PreDesk (There are 2 of those in 4.39), Task, Utils, NNN.modules, Scrap (with
its several strangely named dirs) etc. I think I've seen an article which
explains the grand plan behind it all but don't seem to have saved a copy. Is
there such a thing? 

Yours, terminally confused...
