It works faultlessly here. One of the problems seems to be that there are several different version of it knocking around. I can't see anything in the Help file that says I couldn't send my working copy to Brian; does anyone know better? Possibly relevant: In the Help file here, it says, "Lastly, if the variable Fetch_NS$Install$Dir is set, it will install and start the version just retrieved". Where this variable is set depends on which version you have. Here, that is set in !Fetch_NS's Choices directory, in !Boot.Choices, in the file called Settings, which is run by !Fetch_NS.!Run, and it reads: Set Fetch_NS$Install$Dir <Fetch_NS$Dir>.^ but I can't remember how I set it! This installs NetSurf in the parent directory of Fetch_NS, which is where I keep all my internet stuff. It's an invaluable app, but the method of setting it up isn't obvious to the uninitiated! As supplied, the app sets a directory specific to the author in the Resources.Defaults file , and you have to comment this line out With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter Young (zfc Ta) and family Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
