Your welcome. :-) In no particular order, here are a couple tips I don’t think are in the DOCS or help… When you change text in an edit field, you must confirm the change by pressing enter. Otherwise, the text will revert. That is different than most other UI’s which may keep the change when you click outside the edit field or use another method to finish editing. This tends to give a lot of users problems and I’ll probably change it to be more like what users expect someday. (These are just the default Keybindings. They can be changed and may be different in other languages.) ALT+H will bring up semi-context aware help. ALT+H used while in help, brings up Help on Help + current help. ALT+Q to quit. ALT+F to search. ENTER / RETURN to launch a program. (Or click Execute, or just double click the item) On the main screen, UP and DOWN keys change the selected Program Menu Item. Using SHIFT + UP/DOWN will change the menu. Generally, you should launch it using the PGM.BAT helper (installed in %DOSDIR%\BIN). That will allow PGME to use the "free all memory” option and complicated launch processes. Otherwise, PGME will always have a roughly 10k memory footprint and be stuck doing only simple launches. When you run PGME from the command line, you can have it jump to menus or even specific items (spaces are ignored when searching). For example… pgm games pgm floppybird pgm what’s new To use the “Disable CPU Cache” for running really old programs. The SLOWDOWN package for FreeDOS needs installed. I think it is installed automatically which FULL in FreeDOS 1.3. There are also ways to have menus and items more or less automatically appear, disappear, change, etc. :-) Jerome
