Hi Charlie, On the PC you'll need to write to the registry (BuddyAPI does this and there are some scripts on Gary Smith's site) and then check the (still undocumented) commandline property when your application starts up. On a mac you can use Pimz' opendocument xtra (on the same page where you found propsave).
