Thank you, David. I will put some time in on that and get back to you. This would have to be spread out over time as I learn more about what this program does. Most of what I do as an online editor is try to make things as simple as possible so that even beginners can use programs. I think Power Pro is a marvelous program, but the first time I downloaded it, it whipped me on the first page. I thought I did see a tutorial somewhere, but it didn't help me that much.

I'm not sure that you are exactly understanding what a Command List is (as I see, and look at it at least ;) ). A command list is just a list of items grouped together under a single list name. Those lists can be used for anything in powerpro, including just some of these things: - Displaying menus (or just displaying part of a commandlist as a menu from anywhere) - Displaying bars - Holding commands for macro keys - Holding script commands to execute - Holding lists of items to run at powerpro startup or shutdown - Lists of items to start on opening a Virtual Desktop - Commands to run when opening/switching Virtual Desktops (Vdesks) - Explorer Context items - List of commands to run whenever any window is created (usually have each command restricted to a small number of windows) - Hold list of commands that can be run every 1-2 seconds (Monitor list) that is kept in memory. ...and I'm sure there are lots of other purposes they can be put to. =) > As an editor of online content, I often think there ought to > be some way to explain these things in plain English, using > popular terminology.

As a newer user of powerpro you are probably in a better position to try and list some alternative descriptions for powerpro functions. A good listing might get included in the powerpro help file for newer users to read thru! :) David Troesch -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
