thanks for the tips. Running DiscKnight does indeed report errors
within !Boot.Choices.WWW.Netsurf. I think an investment in the full
version may be in order (I think the "Repair" option is disabled on
the free version).
Although RISC OS threw a wobbler in the process,renaming
Choices.WWW.Netsurf to "zzzz" seemed to work for the time being.
thanks,
Chris
