Ha! I have the latest build of the trunk and I have read from the first e-mail seen your mockup and STILL have no idea what you guys are talking about AND for the most purpose see no real advantage of the new mock over what currently exist in my most recent build of the trunk....SO you probably right about doing a better presentation for try as i might I can't scroll to right to see what you are talking about ... I am confused and done asking my questions since I am getting away in accomplishing my goals the way things are now<br>

As described in my first message: Scroll right in the left toolview,<br>
click the text which indicates the type and change it to "Script".<br>
<br>
This is not the topic of this thread, tough. If you have further<br>
questions please start a new thread.<br>

> That is exactly what I am talking about. But, I am hard pressed in figuring out in getting to the point in how to do what you described in the configuration launcher dialog. I do clearly see how to create external scripts in the "External Scripts" tool bar. But I, have not discover how to all such things from the Run->Configure Launches dialog. It would seem that would be a nice to explore.... So assuming I understand what you all are talking about, I have yet to find a way to do what I think you are talking about in your emails. So I am getting your point about the difficulty in finding out on my own how to do what you described. So what exactly are the steps???<br>
