"Caused by the duplicators". Thats no excuse. Equals "Its the fault
of the computer" in my book. Checking a few samples before mailing
the batch would be basic QC.

Thanks. Yes. That works now. At least you didn't say "RTFM"! -

Apart from Microbotics 30/50 accelerator sw, AsimCDFS, Powerflyer,
Snoopdos, ToolsDaemon, ToolsAlias and Rexx the only hack running was
KillDiskclick. The MUI came with NC2 (apart from the files when I
paid the registration) and NC3. I'm not aware of other source,
although I'm not sure what AF and AA CDs do to a machine when they
update files.

Why not? Wouldn't that leave up to date versions?

I've copied Octupus over by hand. V3 now runs. (Haven't tried the
rest yet.)

Again, thanks. Is there a way of removing the fastlinks bar
completely? 'Hide' clears the buttons away but leaves the bar. (Help
- doesn't work - Amigaguide can't find the Tearoff guide.)

Possibly www.expedia.com does? ( Its MxxxcS's site but a great travel
ticket finder) Can anyone access it satisfactorily with V3?
I've probably had too much cider (buggy software drives me to drink)
but where in General settings, please?

Shows I'm new to this, but I haven't come across that address, yet.

"JS"?

Yes, partly. I use PC's through the working day and (whisper as its
heresy) there are things that miggys ... I clearly need to know more
about the nuts and bolts of MUI - recommend a good book/source?

Seems we both have a problem. Have you found a cure?

Its a mystery to me - possibly hit a wrong key in installation.
Doesn't matter as on running the old MD from NC2 - there they are. So
I'm running old and new version at present!
