Alex,
Can you send me the steps on how to add a script to my keyboard commander again?
I did this with the battery status but would like to add others in the file
such as download info.
I do not remember how I did this.
Thanks for any help
Feel free to write privately.
Blessings,
Stacey Robinson and GEB dog Kirk.
