Er, sorry to be so stupid, which 'file icon' are we talking about 
here? That top-left on the 'Computer' window. That on the 
'Virtual-Acorn' folder? That on 'model.cfg' file? That on all files?   
That on the VA-RPC window (right-clicking on that does nothing here).

Whichever 'File icon' I right-click on, I cannot find a 
'compatibility' tab.

Good question.

Andrew doesn't know everything. The red swirling line problem (as  
demonstrated most easily in Draw and other programs) still has him 
stumped, for instance.

Also, if I didn't ask here, other people would never get to hear of 
the Ghost RO windows fault condition I am talking about...

And if I didn't ask here, and it turns out somehow to be a fault in 
VA, it might never get fixed...  Andrew wouldn't be able to fix it, 
for instance. But Aaron might.
