Version 2.0b

1. Allow the system macro of "Run Macro Express Editor" to be used in a Macro Run command. This will allow a macro to either launch the editor and/or bring it to the front.
2. Allow the system macro of "Terminate Macro Express" to be used in a Macro Run command. This will do the same thing as the Terminate Macro Express command.
3. Added an "If Macro Active" and an "If Macro Not Active" command so than a test can be made against a macro to see if it is currently active or not. All commands following these statements until an ENDIF or ELSE command is reached will be executed if the statement is true. If it is not true and an ELSE command is used, then all commands following the ELSE until an ENDIF is reached will be executed. This command will typically be used to set the active/inactive state of a macro.
4. Added an option in the scripting editor to be able to toggle the list of commands to show All Macro Express commands or a user defined set of commands. This will allow you to display only those commands you usually work with making it easier to retrieve them.
5. Added a new "Set Integer Variable" command. An integer can now be set to the length of a text variable.
6. In the scripting editor, renamed the command "Display Window Of Text" to "Text Box Display". This matches the command shown in the modify directly editor.
7. Expanded the "Text Box Display" commands. Added the option to specify the position and size of the box. Added the option to show the text box and have the macro continue on. With this option, you can either specify how long you want the text box to display or you can have it display until a new "Text Box Close" command is encountered or until the macro completes.
8. Changed the trial version so that the "reminder" screen will not popup when terminating the Macro Express Editor. It will only popup up when terminating the Macro Express Player or if the 30 day trial period has expired.
9. Added new command "Rename Folder".
10. Added new command "Delete Folder"
11. Added new command "Move File or Files".
12. Enhanced the other file commands to accept wild cards such as *.*. These commands include the file copy, file move, file delete and file rename.
13. New options for the file copy, rename, delete and move commands were added. These include the option of displaying a progress dialog box and allowing for recursion into subfolders if a wildcard is used.
14. Changed the "Prompt For Text Variable" input box to allow for more than 255 characters of input.
15. Added new "Set Integer Variable" command. An integer can now be set to the width of the screen.
16. Added new "Set Integer Variable" command. An integer can now be set to the height of the screen.
17. Added new "Set Integer Variable" command. An integer can now be set to the location of user specified text inside of a text variable. For example, if variable T1 contained "My name is Mike" and you used this command to find the location of "Mike", the integer variable would be set to 12.
18. Bug Fix: In some rare cases it was possible for the Macro Express player to show up as a minimized caption bar on the desktop. This should no longer occur and the program should remain hidden as intended.
19. Bug Fix: An endless loop could be generated under the following circumstances: A text variable was being typed out and the name of the text variable was part of the text contained by the variable. For example, if a text variable T1 contained the text "My name is %T1%" and your macro command attempted to type out %T1%, it would find %T1% inside itself and continually expand itself until the system crashed. We now test to see if a text variable contains itself and will strip it out if it does.
20. Bug Fix: The "Macro Activate" command did not work properly on Floating Menu macros. The menu would not reappear.
