Then this probably better should not be changed. No, I think I'll do it, I just have to ask the right questions, eg: [X] Capture error messages (a console must be displayed) [X] Show console window (strongly recommended if any input is expected) as opposed to, say: [X] Hide console As you know, I am shy on quite a few options windows (so sue me, it's a *seven week old* baby! Ideally, you'll be able to configure edita to run one particular source that fashion, but not others, however, that is way down my (lengthy) to-do list. Regards, Pete PS I have just finished mangling the menus (in English, less the context menu); I have a point now at which I can attempt translation, though I will migrate that context menu first. Part of me suddenly suspects I might not have needed to bother, but it is data-driven now, which is (usually) better anyway, and definitely much more flexible. Thanks again for guiding me in the right direction.
