With NetSurf, the easiest way of doing this is to copy the _file_ ChkSpr (utility) to Boot:Library:User, and then add a Boot file to each NetSurf full-save pseudo-application. The Boot file need contain only: ifthere run:chkspr then chkspr iconsprites <obey$dir>.!sprites I had thought that a feature request for this had already been made but, just now, I cannot find it. > Do I need to raise a formal feature request, or will this posting > suffice? I would suggest that a feature request is better, since is easier for the developers (and others) to track it. Tony
