That all sounds horribly familliar. I juggled commands around for weeks
before I found a magic script that worked in FC2, but it wouldn't work
in FC4. I did get it working just once in FC4, and while I thought I
had documented each move, I can't repeat the win. I have a thick pile
of how-tos to read before I give up, but it takes a lot of time. My new
machine may arrive first - then I start again.
