Thanks for your replies - now have the problem sorted:

I was opening up Choices via !Netsurf.OpenChoices which opens up:
Choices:WWW.NetSurf.Themes

...which I thought would be identical to:
ADFS::HardDisc.$.!Boot.Choices.WWW.NetSurf.Themes

...apparently not!

Sorry, Steve, I have no idea what "NetSurf's internal theme download
handler" is - the theme files were manually installed (D&D from
another machine) these are filetyped 'Data' and have always worked OK.

The themes from http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/themes/
download as 'Archive' files on this Iyonix, and the instructions on
the same page "Select a theme link from below and NetSurf will ask for
confirmation before the theme is installed." doesn't seem to work.

Just to complicate things a bit, they download as 'XML' files on my
Armini.
