Just hold the right button down over a button, move it to it's new location and release the right mouse button. 2.6 How do I insert the date or time?

You can use the $run variable to assign a program to a button. For example, $run c:\windows\notepad.exe will start Notepad when you press the button. 3.0 Groups [TypeItIn Professional only] TyepItIn Pro lets you create multiple groups of buttons.

I also write other software, make sure you check out: * IRC sound tool: http://www.wavget.com * MP3 player: http://www.wavget.com/mp3player.html 6.0 Special characters. The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), Brackets ({[]}), and parentheses ( ) have special meanings to TypeItIn. To specify one of these characters, enclose it within braces. For example, to specify the plus sign, use {+}. To specify characters that aren't displayed when you press a key (such as ENTER or TAB) and keys that represent actions rather than characters, use the codes shown below: Key Code BACKSPACE {BACKSPACE}, {BS}, or {BKSP} BREAK {BREAK} CAPS LOCK {CAPSLOCK} DEL {DELETE} or {DEL} DOWN ARROW {DOWN} END {END} ENTER {ENTER} or ~ ESC {ESC} HELP {HELP} HOME {HOME} INS {INSERT} LEFT ARROW {LEFT} NUM LOCK {NUMLOCK} PAGE DOWN {PGDN} PAGE UP {PGUP} PRINT SCREEN {PRTSC} RIGHT ARROW {RIGHT} SCROLL LOCK {SCROLLLOCK} TAB {TAB} UP ARROW {UP} F1 {F1} F2 {F2} F3 {F3} F4 {F4} F5 {F5} F6 {F6} F7 {F7} F8 {F8} F9 {F9} F10 {F10} F11 {F11} F12 {F12} F13 {F13} F14 {F14} F15 {F15} F16 {F16} To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, precede the regular key code with one or more of the following codes: Key Code SHIFT + CTRL (CONTROL) ^ ALT % To specify that any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, enclose the code for those keys in parentheses. For example, to specify to hold down SHIFT while E and C are pressed, use "+(EC)". To specify to hold down SHIFT while E is pressed, followed by C without SHIFT, use "+EC". To specify repeating keys, use the form {key number}. You must put a space between key and number. For example, {LEFT 42} means press the LEFT ARROW key 42 times; {h 10} means press h 10 times. 7.0 What was/is new in different versions.
