Depending on whether this needs to run on MacOS as well, you could use Windows' SendKeys function and create an external toolbar to send commands to Poser. These commands can fire at the menu itself, almost invisibly calling "file:run python script" and selecting a script with no need for interaction (or it can stop at this point and allow selection of a script manually, but there's no real point in that). This allows for a virtually limitless amount of script buttons visible at any time (imagine just having all of your favorites accessible at once), especially since you can configure the font size to as small as you're comfortable with. I've been using it for a while to run commands that have no hotkey that I want to be able to get at without menu digging. The program I use is here (such a program already exists): http://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~rikblok/software/toolbar/index.html As for MacOS, there is probably a way to do something similar in AppleScript. As an aside, what I would love in a service release is for those horribly oversize room tabs to go away, replaced by entries in the Window menu. I am continuously hitting the hair and cloth tabs when trying to grab the rotate view widget. ARGH!!! ;P
