Chris, I love the program--thanks very much for sharing it.

I have an AHK script that I use to copy selected text from a text editor and send it to my interpreter's own Script Window. This AHK script is executed from within the text editor. Its current form is:

^F10::

Send, ^c ; copy the selected text

WinActivate, S-PLUS - Commands ; activate the interpreter
WinWaitActive, S-PLUS - Commands ; wait for it

IfWinExist, Script ; if S-PLUS already has a Script Window open, then close it; this section seems not to do anything
{
Send, !fcn
}

IfWinNotExist, Script ; if S-PLUS does not have a Script Window open, then create one, paste the text, select it, and send it to the interpreter via F10
{
Send, !FN{DOWN 5}{Enter}
Send, !ep
Send, ^a
Send, {F10}
}

If I run this AHK script *without* any S-PLUS Script Windows open, it works just fine. However, if I run this AHK script *with* any S-PLUS Script Windows open, it does not execute. In fact, it doesn't even copy the selected editor text to the clipboard, let alone activate any S-PLUS windows.

Any ideas (besides writing an AHK script to close the interpreter's Script Window on the way back to the editor, which I've already done--but sometimes forget to execute)?

Thanks again for a great tool.

To debug the script, open it's main window via the tray icon, which will show you what commands the script most recently executed. It might have something to do with the right window not being active when the keystrokes are sent, or the fact that the title doesn't match due to case sensitive titles, etc. The main window can help you isolate the problem. You can also insert temp. msgbox lines such as "msgbox test1" in places to see what parts are actually being executed.

Also note that in place of this line:

Fixed it, Chris--thanks so much for your help.

Btw, sorry for posting my original message in the wrong forum...I knew it was a bug in the user, not a bug in the program.
