Hi Peter! You are awesome! The wild goose chase paid off! It actually worked, much to my astonishment. I have tried something similar before to trick ProViewer into doing stuff, but without success.
It seems as the line Create Menu... is important, even if no menu is created. Because if I use only the line Run Command 208, it will not work. Don't know why. It made no difference on a machine with both ProViewer and a full Professional, but on a strictly ProViewer machine it made all the difference. Here is the tip again to access the settings from Proviewer (all credits to Peter Horsb�ll M�ller) Create a workspace containing these lines: !Workspace !Version 400 !Charset WindowsLatin1 Create Menu "PetersSecrets" As "Preferences" Calling 208 Run Menu Command 208 Save it as PV_Options.wor or something and open it in ProViewer. Voila - the settings panel appear and you can happily hack into all nifty settings. Tested to work on ProViewer 7 English. No guarantee for older, or other language versions.
