Ron, I haven't tried to start both programs simultaneously. I don't start or stop either program very often, so it's not a problem to single click both icons.
I start VE7CC's program (http://ve7cc.net/), where I have the Telnet box in the Local Network section of the port setup window checked. I changed the Hosts file in DXbase for my preferred node (mine, of course!) to 127.0.0.1. So, after starting VE7CC's program, I click the box to connect. In DXbase, I just open the Internet Cluster window (I have a shortcut F-key to make it easy), which starts the spots flowing from VE7CC's AR-User program. I also use VE7CC to feed WriteLog, using the local IP address above in WL to connect to AR-User. I don't need multiple node connections that DX Telnet provides, and I can easily change the AR-Cluster parameters on the fly with AR-User, so the node doesn't send me more spots than I need. For a RTTY contest, I set the AR-Cluster filters to send only RTTY spots, for instance.

This would be very convenient. AR-User could substitute for the telnet fault in DXBase as well as provide addiitonal features and the step of loading AR-User separately could be avoided.
