I have an obey file on my pinboard containing several (6) *uridispatch
commands. This worked OK until the RO 5.23 upgrade, after which an
error occurred for all but one website from the list - at which point
!Netsurf loaded and so did the one site. Loading the AcornURI v1.04
(20 May 2006) © Christian Ludlam at bootup restores expected
functionality.

Note: if !Netsurf is pre-loaded on to the icon bar before the obey
file is executed, all sites loaded as expected - whichever AcornURI
version was loaded.

Hope that helps pinpoint the prob.

ARMX6, RO 5.23 (R-Comp version), latest !Netsurf
