Craig I tried a couple of different flyouts using the window/door/open toolbar
and also the stairs/handrails with no problems. One method I tried was naming
the toolbar "window/door/open". I closed ADT, checked that the name was in the
.mns file and reopened with no loss of buttons. It seems that the forward
slashes do not bother my system.
