If you have an old OPL guide, it may not contain the values needed for the Netbook. Try looking at my TubeRoute source code (comes with the main program on the Freepoc site), to see how I got it to do colour (beware there is a lot of code!)

Thanks Chris for your remarks.
I had already the software source of TubeRoute and I will look into it,
but can TubeRoute also be run on the Wins emulator? Because I know how
to get coloured lines on the netbook screen, but I don't know how to do
this in the WINS Emulator.
Your remark about using a different toolbar.opo file make sense, but how
can I find the correct one? I am aware of dptoolbar.opo from Marin
Maxwell Harnevie, but this one will not run in the WINS emulator (running the example program. it will generate an error about dividing
by zero in the module tbarindicators of toolbar.opo).
Are you aware of a toolbar.opo file which is suited for the WINS
emulator and can simulate the netbook/series 7 toolbar?
The standard toolbar.opo in the EPOC emulator can not do this. See how
the standard Data programme is running: on the netbook/series 7 you will
have 6 coloured buttons available, but in the emulator you will have
only four, the Sort and Print buttons are absent!.

A Happy New Year to you and fellow digestees as well.

I am sure you meant to write 'Muslims' instead of Arab here as no
doubt you are aware there are more Muslims with-out the Arab world
than within and of course the Iranians will be quick to point out they
are not Arabs either. :-)
Salaam!

Re: SharPsion & Linux in EPOC digest
Michael,
You don't mention which Linux distro you have ......
I'm not sure. It's an early Asus eee PC 8g.
In the Add/Remove Software there is a Meia Player update that says "MPlayer is a movie player for GNU/Linux" if that helps.
Does anyone publish a "Linux for Dummies."
I've committed to buying a Sharp Z around April of next year and I'm sure there will be a bunch of them on line by then.

Just a note of thanks to all who wrote to me about this.
I now have a working copy but need to understand what use
it has other than for looking up the registration code details of some programs so that they can be noted for future use.
I need to look at the regopx.oxh to see what the opx can do.
Regards
John
