Yes. That happens here. It recognises !Bubble help by Miles Sabin (distributed by David Pilling), !Float by someone called Steve Fryatt !!! as well as the Acorn !Help. However, I'm constantly getting the same effect on my RiscPC that Netsurf won't recognise them from the iconbar. I can only use after accessing them through the Netsurf menu. I tried removing everything I could from the icon bar to see if anything was clashing but to no avail. Short of de-populating my "Run" & "Boot" lists in Configuration ( a somewhat time consuming task), I may never know the cause. I'll live with it. I've discovered all the Help applications work as expected on my PC running Virtual Acorn & that has many of the same apps loaded at startup. I must be in a Bermuda Triangle or on a Ley Line or something. Just have to leave it unexplained. Not a biggy. Thanks for your replies. If anyone replicates the problem or finds the answer at some future point I'd be interested to know. Regards to all a a big thanks to all the developers who are working so hard. -- Chris
