No, I've looked at HID from time to time, both in Iyonix days, and 
more recently, and I couldn't make head or tail of its help file. I've 
therefore steered well clear of it!  It's not in !Boot here. However, 
it's in SCSI::armini.$.Utilities.USB on my machine, so could it be 
being Booted? Its system variables show up if I do *show HID*, so 
perhaps should I move it elsewhere? Grabbing at straws now :-(

With best wishes,

Peter.
