Minor thing, only cosmetic, but the Fireworkz title screen that you
see while the program loads has acquired some peculiar behaviour in
recent incarnations: PART of it gets overwritten by other windows, or
even, apparently, by windows that USED to be there. It's as if it's
transparent in an odd way, with a rectangular corner missing.

Hardly matters, because the title screen soon disappears anyway, but
the effect is curious.

(Fwz 1.34/05, RiscPC, OS 4.39, TFT screen usually 1280x1024 in 256
colours)

Yes, I've found that too, but I've also sometimes found that if you
have a window open beneath where the splash screen opens, it can leave
a hole in the underneath window.

With best wishes,
