Can you check it?
Do you know whether or not my set up (BB, no widget etc) needs
UENV/TXT?

Mine is version 2.65b and dated 27/1/11 and so fairly recent; but that
doesn't seem to be the problem. If there was a problem with reporter
it would show up in other ways too. How many things does one check?

No. But from the above it seems to be in Resources.!+Resource.WimpPool

Yes.

Yes, I may try other versions of things when I get time.
