There are MAJOR quirks in TPaint's ARexx, which actually predates ARexx… 1) NEVER have options results on .. it makes things just not work. 2) going from the switcher to launch tpaint is problematic, cause the command to launch tpaint doesn't return until tpaint is unloaded… making it useless without a clever trick to start the tpaint rexx as a separate script task, which then polls the existance of paint's port. 3) The toaster will close the workbench screen unless a shell or something is opened. If you go into paint with the WB closed, there will be no way to run the script*, since you can't flip screens back to the wb screen and shell. You'd have to go back to switcher, back out to wb, open a shell, back to switcher then into paint. *there is a keyboard.txt file which assigns commands to keys. By editing this you can create short sets of commands which will be tied to key inputs. This is not a script mechanism since happy things like variables and math and other operations aren't supported. Good luck.
