But the sequence cmd+m also used to insert on mouseup...end mouseup at the cursor in the scriptwindow, now it looks like Scott removed it in 2.5. That's probably the one that snags me. I get to typing so fast. I'll try to pull up the message box without getting out of the script editor, and

Hi MrX, The easiest way (around this) is to make a shortcut and use a custom icon on it... I also asked this and it's also impossible... Then again, you can re-write the desktop in MC, launch me in startup and then use strictly any image as an icon ;)) ... launch MrX with new_desktop ...
