Thanks for all the advice, I'm going to take a while & play with the suggestions when time. I can't locate an apt/preferences file to insert the code re "pin" but don't mind uncommenting the "sid" line in sources.list for the odd package. Also I'm assuming now that I'll be working in terminal, i.e I'll need to check out man pages for the packages you suggest, & I'm still don't really know how to run pstatus (as you say, I do have librapi. I'll have a good try & post again in a little while if stuck or if I get a result-Phil
