Well, I've tried to figure out where the starting point is for the PowerTerm profile, but everything I've tried results in Powerterm related errors. Wherever the kick off point is, it's so convoluted with startup scripts it's not funny. That's why I wanted to use the shortcut file, as everything is already set up.

I'm having issue launching a Powerterm session where if I launch it manually via the shortcut, it works, but if I try to launch the actual executable via script, it prompts me to enter credentials, server etc. I've also noticed, if, off a fresh boot, I try to launch the executable, not the shortcut, it prompts me to enter credentials, host and everything, then if I launch the shortcut, then close, the executable will launch manually like the shortcut every time, as if the connection is cached. However, it won't launch via script at this point. I've tried to create my own psl script, but when it launches, BWS won't read the screen, it displays it, but when you try to read any characters, you get a blank string. The display, even though I've set all the settings like the shortcut, has the fields 'sunk in' like a VB textbox. I either need to figure out why my script isn't working, or figure out a way to launch the shortcut. What I've found in searches, never launches anything, such as using Shell Start, Shell Launch, or Shell Open. 'A leader is best when people barely know the leader exists.
