Hi Anthony Many thanks for your response.
As I mentioned to Dave S above, I deliberately (and specifically) chose this example of downloading the MacOs version (for Normal Users) directly from the web2py website and compiling - and then reloading - the 'Welcome' application to demonstrate the problem as simply and clearly as I thought possible. I therefore tried to - tautology alert! - *exactly mimic* what any standard user would expect to do and see what would happen. So I - deliberately - did not restart the web server or reload routes or anything else for that matter. (However, as it happens when I did restart the web server the problem still remained). Anyway, I am still a bit puzzled!
