before_command is handled by the parser, Desktop just can modify the value of the key--the parser executes it. Therefore, can't be changed in the Desktop end of things. However, the before_group_command and after_group_command in Advanced Preferences (commands to execute before and after a group of channel updates) are done by the Desktop at the start and end of a string of calls to parser. Support for spaced filenames was added to these, as well as spaces in the filename of an external HTML editor. Don't know the current status of space handling in the CVS version of the parser, or even if it is possible to correct. Perhaps Bill can weigh in. If can't be fixed, a note will be added to the online help under the description of those entries. Best wishes, Robert
