Does this look ok? The app doesn't come up on my XPsp2 system, but it will start by itself.

try
B,401,176,400,111,"LOAD;EXTERNAL_GPS.SKIN;RUN;C:\PROGRA~1\ROADRU~1\SKINS\DRAWANDSAVE.EXE;Draw"

if that doesnt work try going without progra~1 and type it out in its entirety

What can I do for having the save&draw open in fullscreen? IMO I've got a larger textarea.

Ditto, another plug for working perfectly in RR, in Apps, and embedded in it's own window.

Here's the code I used to give it it's own dedicated button on the MAIN page using the IG skin, same as you:
B15,113,10,60,70,"LOAD;draw.skin;;c:\drawandsave.e xe;Draw"

I found I needed 2 semicolons after the skin name. The format is (I think) "load;skinfile;verbalcommand;filelocation;embedded windowname"
I wussed out & just put it under C:/ though. If my code doesn't work, try it with the prog in C:/, then once it works put it somewhere else & see if you need to spell out the directory name.

Ok, now I'm going to take this to another level!!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could use NaviVoice and have this write for you as you speak? I mean think of it this way; you're driving and you get a call and have to take a number down. You bring up this app, say the text and it writes it down for you and save it. Perfect!!

What do you think guys?? Is this even possible?

I use this code on my button:

B09,0,460,160,70,"LOAD;scribble.skin;;c:\draw\draw andsave.exe;Draw"

The scribble.skin screen opens, but the draw app isn't visible. (doesn't appear to start at all) The path c:\draw\drawandsave.exe is correct.The app works fine when I click the .exe outside RR. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Hmm, don't I need some indicator on the scribble.skin to define where drawandsave.exe is shown? Which label should I use?

you need to add something like this to your draw skin

/, A, x, y, w, h, color;RGB
A,17,98,600,415,
