I really appreciate all your time and effort....:-)....! The general answer to my original question is that there is apparently no user GUI and that you have to do programming to set settings other than default...I guess I will just use it for the items on the menu....But thanks...!

I didn't figure out how to use this until just now.  Perhaps you already know, but for what it's worth, here's an example of using it (assuming CAPshift is running and has the default settings):

1. Open notepad or some other editor
2. Type the two letters a and e
3. Select them both
4. Hold down the CapsLock key until the menu pops up
5. Choose the "Replace user chars" menu item

If all goes well, the two letters should be replaced by a single character.

On a side note, I experimented with the settings for replacement and found the following sorts of things work too:

He=Helium
Silver=Ag
Hi=This is some longer text.  There is even more than one line..newline.Neat!

If I just type 'ae', how does it know what I want it to replace the 'ae' with??

Dear ewemoa,

Many thanks for your time.....

Regarding Startup, http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/6085 had a number of incorrect 'answers'....:-)....For example, msconfig only allows you to check or uncheck the relatively few items listed---cannot add new items; and Start at bottom left has no Startup Folder in its menu (at least on my system)....I will just use one of my Autorun programs---I just thought most programs with settings allow you to do this within the program.....

I understood from the .ini file what the options are....just wasn't comfortable with making changes in that manner.....The item I was most interested in was "Replace user chars", which would be very useful to me if it does what I think it does.....

Dear Skrommel,

I just found your CAPshift and am delighted with it---something I always wanted! But as someone who does not know anything about scripting, I have two questions:

1. How can I make it open at Startup?
2. For Settings, I only get an .ini file, which is Greek to me....:-(....Do you have to know scripting to set settings?

Forgive me if this site is only for folks who know how to program....

Thanks for any help!
