Someone said that Zoot is still a 16 bit program, and if this is true, my guess is that this is the reason PowerPro works fine with other programs but not Zoot. PowerPro uses standard system functions to monitor the keyboard looking for hotkeys (either a keyboard hook or a the system HotKeys functions, depending on setting of "recognize keyboard hot keys when donsole window active"). If a potential hotkey is recognized, the PowerPro process is sent a message to confirm that the hot key target is matched. The system switching away from 16 bit Zoot to standard 32 bit processes to check the character and back is possibly the source of the delay you see. For keyboard macros, once the initial character is recognized, the PowerPro process is also called for each character you type to check to see if you have completed the macro. This does not happen once you have excluded Zoot for the initial character. BTW, you could try reversing the above checkbox to see if it helps with the initial character; it won't affect the rest. Is it true that Zoot is a 16 bit program? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo! Companion Toolbar. Now with Pop-Up Blocker.
