I think I inadvertently sent an unreplied message with just quotes to
the list. CTRL+Enter both generates and sends the reply. I hit
CTRL+Enter and nothing happened. So I hit it again and the two
eventually executed, leading to the message being sent while it only
flickered on the screen. A beta problem so, forget it except for my
apology. :-)
Anyway, to address Paula's question:
The problem is that TB! stores it's settings in the registry instead
of an ini file that resides in the installation directory. This leads
to two versions not being able to coexist, unless you're willing to
manually load registry keys before starting each install. What I mean
here is:
a) backup your current installations registry key.
b) Install the beta, and backup its registry settings.
c) Double click on the registry backup file for the desired version
prior to starting it up.
d) This means you'll have to create a fresh backup each time you make
any registry changes.
You could make this relatively pain free by using batch files:
Create a batch file for starting and exiting each version. Double
clicking on the batch file will change the registry key and then start
TB! and the second batch will backup the registry key and then exit
TB!.
If you're willing to go through with this, then shout so that we can
help you with the batch files. :-)
