No, but that's an interesting command. The program I'm using to recapture focus, by the way, is GoXy.exe, which is kind of a combination of ACTIVATE and KEYSTACK. GoXy has an option to focus on itself (GoXy "{self}"), which what I'm using in TCStart.BTM.

TCC doesn't "expect" to be on any particular drive or directory, does it? I have it in a subdir of F:\ -- I don't suppose that matters?

No, nothing. Well, actually, I had no TCStart file at all. But I just created one that includes a command to force focus back to TCC.EXE, so the problem is solved -- without knowing what the source of the problem was. Strange that you can't reproduce it. It doesn't happen here with any other...

When I click on my Desktop icon to launch TCC/LE, or when I launch it from the DOS prompt, focus switches back to the Desktop immediately after the program launches. Is there a fix for this?
