It is complete honestly Matthew. You've missed the bit where the
sprite group is created.

Ensure System sprites memory is set to 16.384 Mbytes in Tasks; Run
program; Open a TaskWindow; type slist to check that the sprite group
is created; type ssave [filename] to save it to root. Open the sprite
to display the group in !Paint but I'm sure you know all this!! 

Although Steve has posted a working modification run his program not
mine and you will see it works correctly.

Apparently my method of generating the sprites is deprecated (went out
with the arc I believe) - I'll have a look at Druck's SWI, OS_SpriteOP
though I suspect I might need help understanding it.

I'll get back to other posters.
