NM. Figured it out. It has to do with the skin.

But I get the name showing up more than once, as do the prices. Weird.

Chances are a few edits to your .skin file and the skin u've made for RRPM will work with the built in manager.

great nice to hear

Then you have x,rrgas twice, it should only be in the menu.skin or plugins.txt ,if the menu skin has inc,plugins.txt, not both.

After working with mitchjs plugin manager for the first stages I think it is the best solution I have seen yet.

I have integrated it with my hole skin such as my install screen will tell you if a plugin is installed or not so you know witch one needs to be. If you start a plugin and it is not on or installed my plugin manager menu will pop-up to let you know instead of getting all that speaking nonsense.

There will also be "PRELOADSCRNS" cmd to re-preload the preload screens, good for usage after a reloadskin cmd or any other time you might want to make sure that they have been/still are loaded for maintaining the load times

FINALLY !
Will RoadRunner still be responsive (i.e. load the screens in the background), or will RoadRunner stop all actions till all screens are preloaded ?

Can you also tell which screens to preload (i.e. night skin screens before switching), or should I switch to the night skin and then execute the PRELOADSCRNS command ?

That really depends on two things, comp speed and number of screens to load, but will only continue after its done just like when first starting up.

No, it just uses the ones defined from the rr.ini. Probably the easiest way would be to add it to the very begining or very end of the "ONSKINSTART" cmd. No worries about it reloading already loaded screens, it first checks to see if the screen is in fact not loaded before loading it.
