Sorry that would have been useful.

The person who reported the problem gets an invalid Object Id ()x7c129180)
(ox4277c180) (0x2) code 0

This error I can't replicate - but think this is due to the fact that the 
two sprite save commands fail. Instead I get am error Sprite doesn't exist 
(rom), or no system memory reserved for the system sprite area(ram). 
Depending on whether the app tries to save either rom or ram sprites.

The program works if I use the SYS"Wimp_BaseOfSprites", which obviously 
returns the addresses of the wimp pool- but which I was trying to get away 
from.

It would seem that I would need to find the addresses of the sprite pools 
and then use OS_SpriteOp,&112 etc

Thanks for the help so far.
