Matts,
As you & I can probably guess, Proviewer is probably MapInfo with a couple
of extra statements (MapBasic). My guess is that the LAST statements it
does are to build a custom menu & to set the button pads. This is why
whatever you do works, is after you run the workspace, it does these things.
Yes, Proviewer is very limited. Its a good viewer, but you can't do much.
