FS> How can I start a PM type of program so that it is minimized?

MR> The short answer is that you can't.

JT>Well, you can "trick" the system into allowing you to set the 
JT>"Start minimized" button on a PM executable.  All you have to do 
JT>is mis-spell the executable name in the "path and filename" 
JT>section of the settings.  While the name is mis-spelled, go to 
JT>the "Session" page and you will find the "Start minimized" button
JT>is now selectable.  Select it, go back to the "Program" page and 
JT>correct the spelling on the executable name.  If you go nback to 
JT>the "session" page, you will see that the "Start minimized" 
JT>section is once again greyed out, but that "Start minimized" is 
JT>still selected.  If the PM exectuable honors the "Start
JT>minimized" request, it will start minimized.  But not all PM 
JT>executable honor this.

Neat trick! Thanks John.

Have a nice day,

Holger
