Hello Dean and Brad Thanks for the help, it seems to have worked. The original trouble was, and still is that in order to get a number of applications (Wordperfect, WindowMaker etc) working I`ve installed a mixture of libraries,some of which just don`t get on together.At least according to deselect. However now I`ve restored dselect to a functional state I can hopefully sort these conflicts out one at a time. Fortunately Dean I didn`t proceed with the choices which would have destroyed my system, mainly because of the dire warnings given me by dselect at the time.
