Hi again Antonio,

I'm beginning to see what you mean now.
The only problem i see so far is that if the Launcher isnt used
to open EVERY program (ie some are already open and we use a 'capture'
command from the Launcher) then the Launcher will not know what *files*
have been opened with the given programs.  This doesnt matter when we
go to close the programs (with the "close all" button) but it does
matter when we go to reopen all the programs with their respective
files.  Again, the example i gave before:
open Notepad Myfile.txt
we know the program is Notepad and the file is Myfile.txt, but
if this is already open we dont know what file has been open.
(OK maybe with Notepad we can read the title bar, but this isnt
always the case with other programs).
The other part is what if the program opens two or more files?
There must be a way to do this too, so if there isnt already
a button to open that 'minor group' then how do we know what
file to use, unless of course we resort to typing the user data in
to the button edit box?  I wanted to minimize typing on the users
part.

Oh yeah, if you are going to use a .bat file (for now) you can use
the 'start' keyword like this:
  start c:\Mydir\MyProg.exe c:\MyStuff\Myfile.txt
which then opens MyFile.txt with MyProg.exe .  There is a bit of
screen flashing sometimes so i rather do it with the Launcher in
the future.

Does all this make sense?




Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
