Koen --

I certainly understand your stand against hotkey assignments. Some people are adamant about using them; I guess I'm middle of the road. I, too, find it hard to remember too many of them,so I can understand (to some degree) not wanting to use them.

It certainly is easy to add a few lines to your IDE setup program to add items to the Tools menu; people have been doing that for a long time.

In the future, when you find that there other tools from Thor / Thor Repository / IDE Tools that you want to use, let me make the following suggestion:

Instead of writing your own code (simple as it is), use the Thor Configuration to add the desired tool to the FoxPro Tools menu. It requires, in fact, only a few clicks (a very nice UI design by Doug H), and allows you to do so without having to dig through the Thor folders to find where exactly the tool has been installed.

You can, in fact, create your own menu pad in the FoxPro system menu, and add tools to that menu. Many of us do that, preferring to keep our tools separate from the default tools in the FoxPro Tools menu.
