Blimey! Peter...
After all that, I'm seriously confused so I'm going to sperment.
RISC OS: OvPro 2.77s 27 May 2011.
---------------------------------
The Save F3 has an RTF radio button.
When I activate it, it does indeed save an RTF file.
!MakeRTF is somewhere in a sub directory, and is neither seen nor run
Get a small OvPro doc on screen, Save as the RTF.
It does indeedy Save out as an RTF.
I've taken !MakeRTF and moved it somewhere else in another sub, sub
directory.
I shall now reboot the computer and see...
Well, use my hankie as a bum wipe, you are korrekt.
Hangonamon while I do a *Show
Whoops! there's a copy inside OvPro Applets.
So apologies chaps, particularly Peter, yes indeed, !MakeRTF is doing the
stuff here.
*************************
Interesting aside, everytime I make an RTF out from Ovation Pro Reporter
goes on the blink and only displays an empty Reporter window.
Nothing that happens on the computer thereafter is shown in the Reporter
window until I Clear it from the Menu.

Mnnn! Back to the main plot.
