I'll give that a try. It sounds promising. (I had a couple of "patch level" issues with my LSP re: translation files, so I haven't updated to the next patch yet. I tend to have a glass-half-empty take on things and as I am currently stable both with my and my LSP's setup, I elected not to install the next patch... yet.)

See the FM9 user guide, p. 200. OT: I see you're using patch 237. Patch 250 is available (just as an FYI).
