Keith, I started playing around with your scripting on ACCESS! for the first time. It makes a great way to download off of local boards or other services that don't have WHAP. I presume your are working on more commands for the scripting. Would you please consider , if it is not there already, adding a way to access the Function Keys from a script ( and loading the key files also). That would allow a generic dload script to access a micro for the name of the file to download. Then without having to use an editor , you could specify files for download . Thanks Jack

Jack, Thanks for the comments… I am looking into f-key access through the scripts… there's one problem I have to deal with before allowing that though. That is that the f-keys can (could) also do 'scripting' type things and so things really get crazy if a script is running, that calls an f-key that tries to also ('take control') do some scripting things. I've removed several of the f-key scripting commands in 1.42, so it may be a 'safe' thing to do now… if not I'll just have to wean the f-keys back a bit more. At any rate, one way or the other, that feature will be added. – Keith
