That's what I thought might be the answer (it's beyond my
knowledge/ability).

Not very, I've used Python to do lots of file mangling scripty kind of
stuff which I run on either RISC OS or Windows but I much prefer to
write with StrongED/work in the RISC OS environment.

What I would occasionally like though, is the ability for a user to
(say) choose an input file or output file via a GUI interface - one
which would work on Windows or RISC OS.

I suppose I could knock up my own simple system which would load
relevant modules dependent on host OS.

(Unfortunately I haven't got round to either SWI acces to Acorn wimp or
Tk/WxWindows partly cos of cross platform-ness.)
