An absolutely wonderful catch. That was indeed the problem, now fixed. Much appreciated, thanks Dave Nb: Interestingly, many previous experiments showed it was a RISC OS 6.20 problem, and that it didn't happen on any RISC OS 4.39 installs I tested. Nor even a RPCEmu and RISC OS 5.31. Neither RISC OS 4.39 or RISC OS 5.3nn have that Pinboard configure option. D. -- Dave Triffid
