Mysteriouser and mysteriouser. I have the colour file defined as trm:Acc!.color (trm: being a virtual device somewhere in the bowels of my HD), and it finds it no problem. I can only think of a couple of things, primarily mistakes I doubt you'd make… such as, you don't _really_ have Acc!.color defined in your config file (type opt h the config file to make sure?), or you have given the config file the wrong name. Like I said, I doubt either of those is the problem. What are you using for a colour file? I don't suppose it would be the Brown!.color file from the arc package, would it? As far as I could tell, that was the same as the default colouring, and would make you think the colour load had failed when it had in fact succeeded. Again unlikely, sorry, but that's my whole stock of ideas so far as to what might be wrong. As to the location of the config file – no, there doesn't seem to be any polite way to make it look elsewhere than the CD. A major pain – I don't understand _why_ he didn't make s: at least an alternate. I just hexdumped the file (well, part of it) and I notice the string "acc!.def" starting at offset $2AB4. So I think I might revise that to s:ac.def and see if it works. Let me know if you figure it out. Nick
