I think the conclusion is to avoid Warp Enhancer on the current level of Warp. I have used it on earlier version without ANY problems. Shame it's not till being developed. Cheers/2 Ed.

Perhaps I take a look at Styler/2 perhaps it (on it's own can cover more of the options that I'm looking for?). By the way - on X-Workplace does anyone understand how to get it's shutdown panel to replace the standard one. as far as I can see, I have to drill down through X-workplace menus to find their Shutdown object.

Warp Enhancer replaced that one, so however you chose shutdown, you'd get the shutdown or shutdown/restart option box. Hey the system is hanging up any more - I should be happy ! Cheers/2 Ed.
