    Hi, DoubleCommand is just what I need, but I have trouble making it work with several users.

    Context
    -------
    - I run Mac OS X 10.3.9 on a G4
    - I use DoubleCommand 1.5.5
    - I created three user accounts
    - Each user has his own DoubleCommand configuration
    - the System has yet another DoubleCommand configuration

    Problem
    -------
    - When any user logs in, his DoubleCommand configuration is not activated, the System's is.

    Did I do something wrong?
    Can I fix it?
    Thanks!

      Well, as it turns out, user settings was never finished! Each user only needs to run /Library/StartupItems/DoubleCommand/config.command at login (or any other time) to get the feature to work, so you could simply add that line to the .bash_profile in each home folder. Or turn that into a script and install that as a login item. The preference pane really should do one of those for you when you save a user setting, but it doesn't do that yet.

      In fact, the next version will include this script (paste into Script Editor):

      tell application "Finder"
          activate
          do shell script "/Library/StartupItems/DoubleCommand/config.command"
      end tell

      When compiled into an application, this can be used as a login item.
