Hi again Antonio,


when you say
    "Add All to buttons"
what do you mean here by 'All' ?  What do you want to add?


and when you say
    Add and close All
what do you mean, 'Add' what and 'close' what?

and when you say
    Add Selected to button
what is to be 'Selected' ?

same here:
    Add and close Selected
what is selected?

Thanks, and all i need is a little more info to know exactly what
you want and if it can be added to the Launcher.

This stuff does sound interesting, like maybe opening more than one
program with one single button.  How about a button that pushes other
buttons, as many as you load into the Edit box for that button?



Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
