OK, many thanks all
I think I used to know that several years ago.
Fancy me forgetting...

Just one more question: I can't copy him the un-zipping thingy without 
that being tampered with as well, so does anyone know if that comes 
with RO 5 from ROOL on their micro-SD card?

PS. - he's 10 - so doesn't know much about RO at the mo and he lives 
50 miles away so I can't pop over on the hop (by public transport - I 
can't drive)
