Thanks Chip. I got it to work that way just fine.

I know you don't want to do this exactly, but, you could modify this idea just slightly to get what you want. First, you'd need to modify the number of hotkeys this section is looking for to be 12 instead of 11; and you'll need to add a line for the newest hotkey to be written along with it's default value to this portion of code. Now, if it doesn't find 12 hotkeys it will write all twelve of them out to the .ini file. Now, make a copy of this portion, and insert it just before this code. Set it to test for the number of hotkeys equaling 11 instead of not equaling 12, and delete the lines which write out the first 11 hotkeys, leaving you only the one line which writes out the newest one. This way, for someone with an .ini file which has only the original 11 defined, this code will add the newest one with it's default value, bringing them up to 12. For someone who doesn't have any at all, they'll get all 12 written out new. hth, Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Vic Beckley [mailto:vic.beckl...@gmail.com] > Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 3:10 PM > To: GW Scripting List > Subject: Adding a new hotkey to an existing app > > Hi all, > > I have an app which has at present 11 hotkeys.
