Actually, it seems to be a problem with ImageMagick. All the others are 
now working properly with just the name of the executable in the menu. 
But ImageMagick will not start from the menu either with just the 
executable 'display' or the complete path. And it sends a message to the 
error file saying 'Unable to map file'. If I type 'display' in an xterm 
it also gives the same error message but it does start. But it doesn't 
seem to carry out some of the operations I have tried, e.g. I can crop 
an image but the new version is not saved. I thought it might be a 
memory problem. I have 32 MB ram and an initial 42 MB swap partition 
which is soon used up. Just to see what happens I have tried giving it 
another 100 MB swap partition on another HD but the problem persists. I 
shall work at it over the weekend; meanwhile, has anyone got any ideas?
TIA,
Andrew
