I've looked for it in Boot, using TextSeek looking in Obey and Desktop
files, and it doesn't find any mention of Toolbox.

I've realised that I had mis-remembered what Fred said when I replied
to Chris just now; well, the caffeine hadn't reached the brain cell in
adequate amounts.
I've now looked at the !Run files of all the apps loaded *before*
Transient, and there's no mention there of Toolbox.

Yes, it's there, in !Transient.StartUp.Modules:
RMEnsure Toolbox 0.00 RMLoad System:modules.Toolbox.Toolbox
RMEnsure Toolbox 1.53 Error Transient requires Toolbox 1.53 to
run
and Transient runs happily.
Just as an experiment, I find that MiniTime runs happily on my VRPC
installation, along with Transient. Very weird: Toolbox there reports
itself as 1.78!
As I mentioned at the start of this thread, I don't really have any
use for MiniTime, but trying it has shown that there's something
remiss here, and I'd like to track it down if I can do, though
whatever it is doesn't seem to affect the daily use of the computer.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
Best wishes,
Peter.
