    Yes I do. And I did and got sooo much back and well last night I was a
    bit burnt out on this problem. With a refresh of sleep, and post heavy
    use of my apps, I felt sane enough and calm enough to try everything
    again.... anyway:

    My launch script does have that in it and my old app doesn't.

    So is this something that Mike would know about?

    It has to be a WOLips thing as I am not running WO 5.4

    Mike??? Are you home?
