Horah! I've fixed it. Bad !Boot file caused the crash.

I took out all the software in Boot_configuration (Startup and Run)
but crash still occured. My knowledge of Boot is too poor to start
fiddling any deeper so booted a virgin copy of the Boot program. To my
surprise no crash occured when converting document to HTML.

Can I remind everybody to take a copy of their !Boot file - especially
before dragging Boot or System programs to merge with the existing
Boot. A rogue module can cause a lot of grief.

Thanks Martin and others who made suggestions in fixing this
troublesome problem.

Regards

Richard
