That is splendidly silly, for people like me who never grew up :-)

However, the webpage's documentation needs updating: Twirl seems to
have got DogGlass's information.

With best wishes,

Peter.

Please don't download it yet. I only discovered when I came to turn the
machine off, that mouse input isn't being delivered to Task Manager
correctly. I'll fix it tonight.

Should be fixed now. Couldn't do anything about it last night as was
being dragged out to the cinema to see 2012.

I like it.

Is there a way to slow it down, without having to issue a separate
*IconZ2_Update 10 command afterwards?

You can put it in the !Run. You'll probably need to do replace the Run
Module with an RMLoad, IconZ2_Update then RMRun

I've experimented with various combinations of these, and other,
commands. My best attempt puts a 'Press SPACE or click mouse to
continue' message on the screen and freezes the computer until I comply.

Please could I have a few more pointers? Many thanks!

Chris.
