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.
