I have to press the R alt to get menus to stay up. HostFS works fine here. I also have Uniprint working and can use LanMan to access other drives. I did find it difficult to under stand bridging to get internet access. I have transfered many apps from my old Iyonix. A version of Aemulor would be nice to access old Impression documents I have Win 10 64 bit with the Fall creators update Chris -- [email protected] Rpcemu RISC OS 5.22 _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
