I also didn't bother with the 'menu bar to cmd window' - Windows CMD window does not accept ctrl+v as paste, and thus (though you can attach a PowerPro bar to the cmd window), it is no point, because when you click on the PowerPro 'paste' button, '^V' is simply put into the cmd window, and that is it. So, a program launcher is all PowerPro is on my PC. Anyway, I will stop using the beta's if that will make you happy. What is the last final (ie stable) version of PowerPro, and where can I download it from? All I can find on the official PowerPro website is v4.5 RC1. -- Regards, CM Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
