Title: A few questions (and some bugs, too) from a new user!

How do I avoid being prompted with "hit any key to continue" in plucker-build?  When I put all my "daily" plucker-build calls into a batch file, this causes me to have to baby-sit it and hit "space" 20 times!  Is there any way to get it to stop issuing this prompt?  I have tried --quiet and also the batch file (W2K) syntax of:

   echo . | plucker-build
   echo " " | plucker-build
   plucker-build < crlf.exe [where crlf.exe has a CR and LF in it only]

Also, I cannot seem to get the "--pluckerdir="C:\Program Files\Palm\WoodcoG\Install" to work, presumably because my Windows 2000 DOS does not like the space in the directory "Program Files".  I notice that my "default database" configuration does not utilize "pluckerdir" but instead has an option for "user" which makes plucker-build put the pdb file into that user's Install directory.  Why isn't there an option "--user" for plucker-build's command line to let me do the same thing (or is it there and just not documented)?

Also, I noticed somebody commenting that one can put all the plucker-build details into the main/defualt .ini file and cause them to be built using plucker-build -s <tag>.  However, this abbreviated syntax does not work as-is.  What else must be added for it to work?  Even if I could get it to work, I don't think it will do what I'd like it to do (which is build the pdb file)...

All I want to do is define about 20-30 URLs and then have a "daily.bat", "weekly.bat", and "montly.bat" setup to be run automatically.  I want the resultant pdb files to be put into my Install directory and I don't want to press any keys to continue.  Does that make me a terrible person?

Oh yes, the bug.  If you create a document without a category and then assign it a category, recreate it, and then install the pdb, the category does not get updated.  FYI, attached is one of my batch files...
