Hi Jack,
Thanks!
Could you test the software indicator a bit, and see if it is intuitive,
and does what you think it should?
I tried to make it work for me, but I am a programmer, and sometimes do
not use GUI the same way a tester would, or a casual user (which I will
have some test this soon).
If you encounter bugs let me know I may not have rebuilt the more recent
version yet.

There are still some bugs but I have fixed most of them (that I found),
and will be rebuilding soon.
Having all the programs use the same base for choosing dialogs makes
narrowing down problems in all scripts MUCH better.
