Thanks very much for the help,
Let this be a lesson to me in not following advice exactly, I upgraded to v31 studio 5000, which not only did not install correctly because of "studio view designer 4.02 cannot be installed on top of V2.02" it seems to have completely got rid of RSLE and replaced it with a magical new FT linX version 6! How to roll this back I wonder, if necessary because it has seemingly fixed the problem of crashing while compiling the mer file in FT View Studio......
