It would be good to see what f$ is set up to also.

I've never used this call, so I tried it out quickly on an Iyonix, just using
the following:

SYS"Wimp_SpriteOp",12,,"ADFS::HardDisc4.$.Aaaa"

I get "Sprite doesn't exist".  That's on RISC OS 5.16.  But the same happens
on our RISC PC, on 4.02.

So if John's code is working on his Iyonix, it must be doing something
different to what I tried.  Give us a bit more of the program and we might be
able to help better!
