Tom, ProWrite runs the "ProWrite Startup" macro if it finds it in the drawer containing ProWrite. I played around with hard links to ProWrite a little and it will load the ProWrite Startup macro from the directory containing the link (I've been using this to let me change some things at startup depending on the files I'm working with), but unfortunately it seems to grab the "ProWrite FKeys" file from (and save any changes to) the directory containing the real copy of ProWrite. It expects the actual macros to be in the directory ProWrite was launched from via the hard link (the dir containing the link). If you can keep track of what the macros actually do with all the same names in the list, you can have a different set in each directory containing a link (fun keeping track of it all though, some of mine are links to a common directory and others are macros specific to the files in the current dir. but they all have the same names). I have this nasty habit of loading existing files by double clicking on the file icon (so does my wife, which is one of the things I use "ProWrite Startup" for, for some strange reason my Amiga starts running low on memory after she loads up 15 or 20 copies of ProWrite ;^). I'll have to try loading files via macros so I can keep the pathnames somewhere. I must have missed the upload of RexxArpLib.library 3.0, my copy is 2.5, I'll look around for it (wish Whap! wasn't acting up, I hate downloading manually). Peter
