Once again, this is not the appropriate place for tech support issues.
Please be considerate of the other folks on this mailing list and
direct these issues to: [email protected]

I'm sorry my previous response didn't make sense to you. Please let me
know, preferably by email, what we can do to clarify our responses and/or
the README that goes out with WebSpace.

In the meantime, you might try (as the README suggests) turning off the
"dashboard" (look under the Options menu). WebSpace is doing something
in the dashboard geometry that the ZX doesn't like very much. We're going
to find it and fix it, but hey, there are only so many cycles available for
supporting free software...
