In the RunProgram documentation, the code samples show it as Run Program> with a space between the words in all 3 places it is shown
Code: Select all
Example
To open Notepad :
Run Program>notepad.exe
/\
A path may be specified if necessary :
Run Program>c:\my programs\eudora\eudora.exe
/\
To start notepad minimized :
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=2
Run Program>notepad.exe
/\

Thank you Jerry,
I agree it would make more sense not to have a space.
Although I just tried RunProgram and found it successfully opened notepad whether it had a space or not.
Run Program>notepad.exe
RunProgram>notepad.exe
Run>notepad.exe
I'll ask Marcus if he minds me removing the space.

I'd say
Help has been waiting long enough for the change. My vote would be to change it... (Do I get a vote?)
