thru a command line, is there any way to run a trail file when proe is already running ? I know you can start proe via the command line, and specify a trail file to run, but I ws wondering if this can be done while proe is already running. Basically
Im trying to reduce eliminate the startup time. Is there any other trick to do this ?

    An asynchronous JLink or ProToolkit program can do this. I'm not aware
    of any other utility.


    Here is a minimalistic JLink example that toggles datum planes on/off:

    System.loadLibrary ("pfcasyncmt");
    AsyncConnection ac = pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_ConnectWS ( null, null, null, null, null );
    currSession = ac.GetSession().RunMacro( "~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `ProCmdEnvDtmDisp.ddisp` 0" );

    If you used JLink, the best way would be to open a trail file and
    execute RunMacro() on each line rather than hardcoding as above.


    Unfortunately, the above consumed about 70MB RAM just to toggle
    datum planes. JLink may be a little overkill for this problem.
    There are several other (ProToolkit related) limitations as well.
