While working on the program this evening I have found that only pins
produced and exported from RiscOSM in the following way work at the
moment:

In RiscOSM place a new pin on a map using the pin tool.
<Menu> over the pin. Follow Pin nn 'Placename...'>Export>GPX>Save.

Pins which result from a 'New Map' search in RiscOSM cause W3W for RISC
OS to freeze.

NOTE: This is entirely due to a naive assumption I made about the content
of GPX files; it does not in any way reflect on the operation of RiscOSM.
