Yes, I have noticed that sometimes my RestartActions executable array does not always succeed in starting up the console window when I hit the 'restart' entry on my Max menu. More than half the time all three windows come up, but occasionally the console does not, and usually the console comes up last, but occasionally the wsh is last. I am running 3.1D on a 4D/60 Turbo. Here is what RestartActions looks like in my user.ps file: /RestartActions [ { (ical) forkunix } { forkwsh } { RunConsole } ] def -moss PS: Does anyone know a way to program 4Sight to allow a 'click to type' style of attaching windows? I have a couple of applications that broke when Mex went away because they control the graphics cursor by typing commands in a text window. There is currently no work-around for the problem of having to have the graphics cursor in the window where you are typing. Note that holding down a key while moving the cursor out of the window does not help in the slightest with this type of interaction.
