Yes, exactly the same here on RISC OS 4.39. I find my current
Mimemap file is dated 2011 and differs from the one at
http://www.timil.com/riscos/mimemap which I have now downloaded
and installed.

The header says it is for RISC OS 5.19 (which should be
appropriate for my RPi) ; is there any reason not to use it also
with RISC OS 4.39[1] as well?

Brian.

[1] The location given by Dave's incantation is different of
course, so the textual header needs an amendment.
