Back to map keys, once you set your working directory and pick a part to open, then go to tools => map key, pick new, pick some key strokes that will define it, name it, record, end, OK, then save. You can save in two different places, "config.pro, or current_session.pro". Then press run and it will execute. Close the file, pick a new file, go to tools, pick map key, and the map key drop down disappears. But the key strokes that define it are active, press them and you will see it run. The confusion is the map key drop down under tools disappearing on the second part. If you close pro/e and reopen in the same directory that you saved the map keys in, and the map keys that you created and saved are not there in tools => map keys, go to the config pro file, pick current session, check the box 'from file' open the folder, and the two config.pro or current_session.pro files will be there, pick the file that you saved the map key to, and the map key(s) will show up in current session,press apply to activate, and they will show in tools => map key. Confusion is the map key disappearing under tools when you try to run it on the second part, use the key strokes that defined it.......and everything should work like a charm. Make sure map keys are active(look at the little green star),needs to be solid in the current session of the config.pro file. Rick
