thanks Scott,
Everything loaded at once will be too heavy for what I have in mind here,
but thanks anyway. Being able to rename the .exe is a help.
Cheers,
Ciaran

Hey Bjorn,
You can rename DMDemo.exe with no problems (I usually do it when
presenting), but DMDemo.ini unfortunately has to be called DMDemo.ini. I
had thought briefly about adding a load menu to DMDemo which let you load
different ini files. I'm not sure how to learn the name of the exe file
form C++. That would be a neat wat to go, MyMusic.exe and MyMusic.ini.
Unfortunately I'm really slammed at the moment and don't think I'll have
time to add features to DMDemo for a while.
What you will have to do for now is have separate project folders for each
script.
Thanks again for your kind comments Bjorn!
WAIT! I have an idea......
Try making a master script that loads all of your scripts. Make DMDemo load
that master script.
Here's an example of a MasterScript routine:
sub Script1PlaySeg1
Script1.Routine1
end sub
This will call the routine, "Routine1" in Script1.
So the DMDemo button would refer to Script1PlaySeg1 instead of Routine1.
One note: you will have all your music in memory at once so it could get
heavy depending on your content.
