   Yep thanks, I'd thought of that also but I guess I was being lazy and wonder if   
   there could be a menu option when you invoke / from the editor :)

   could be the go, not sure.   
      
   I'm showing my ignorance but could the windows console area in config and the   
   marco options for F1 etc. be used for this. I've never really understood that   
   section of the config and if it applies to all versions of Mystic (windows vs   
   linux) ?
