Yeah I've noticed that but have not tracked it down.

Ok. I'll check it out.

I went to full screen because of someone's complaint about the IDE making a
window too small.Its pretty easy to change back, if that's what is wanted.
Anyone else out there have any comments on this topic?

Thats probably do-able.

Hummmm. I'll have to look at this.

If I understand you; you recomment more than one TabControl with its
TabItems and controls?
Right now, you can only have one TabControl but many TabItems. Just keep
dropping TabItem on top of the prior one. Use the combo box to switch
between them.

Ok.

I've been able to do this with ShellExec but not with system_exec.But with
ShellExec, I can't get Derek's request for spaces and dots in folder name to
work. I'm surely missing something to make it work.

And thanks for debugging!
I've gotten the last set of suggestins/bugs you found fixed. I'll try to fix
these bugs before I put it out on the home page.
