I found out how to work things so that I get the same results as before when I used PP years ago. I found very old config files from PP v3.2 and that's what I thought we still had to do. It's much easier now. We'd used to have to use a separator, "<", since the command line box only had one line. So 2 commands would look like this: *Wait 9 < "C:\Program Files\Images\0- TEXT MESSAGES\Timer.jpg" In v4.7, all I had to do to do the same thing was to put the commands on separate lines now that it's no longer a line box but a box that can have many lines. *Wait 9 "Timer.jpg" And it allows me, double bonus, to not have a filepath, which is vital as I'm using PP as a task prompter in my USB flash drive. Thanks.
