	Well an entire week goes by with no dev builds. I hope this 
next build isn't going to be like b24 was.  All secret with the dev's
and a select few beta testers gloating and showing off ss's of the new
commands and improvements.  Daily builds have become a staple of LS, and
I believe have helped the development reach area's that would not have
been available before.  Now, I know the cvs is either damaged or is
gone, but someone is coding something in the core so daily builds are
possible.  Give us our fix!  Let us in on what you're working on!  We
want to know!  Not only does it keep us coming back for more, but we
may find bugs you didn't know where there because of what OS we use or
a bizarre string of commands we try.  Although the end user isn't the
end all be all of the shell, we do make a difference.  If not for us, I
don't think LS would be where it is today.

 	"LSLnkMenu is a Litestep module that will display a menu
        of .lnk files (Explorer shortcuts).

        "It was created because I got tired of modifying all my
        shortcuts everytime I switched themes. With LsLnkMenu, all
        you have to do is change the location of the main button
        and all your shortcuts stay the same.

        "LsLnkMenu will only read .lnk files and their associated
        icons. However, you can change the icon that the .lnk file
        displays via explorer to any icon or bitmap."

           THEMES
 ---------------------------
 
- Soft Shell 2.1 ~ godzillamk (1:10pm 09.02)

	"[UPDATE] Welcome to Soft Shell 2.1 the most comprehensive
	LiteStep theme ever compiled. However there are a few things
	to note about this release. This new update includes new
	graphics for the popup menu, totally revamped module skins,
	a new dwarf bar, instead of the old wharf bar, hundreds of
	hand created icons, cursors, and revamped skins for MyPad,
	ICQ Plus, Windows Blinds, eFx. This theme uses some of the
	most recent versions of the following modules to make Soft
	Shell more functional, Recycler.dll desktop.dll ecuts3.dll
	Dwarf.dll sysvwm.dll lscdplay.app The new expanding Folders
	Bar is designed and organized to make accessing your software
	easier. The new popup uses the Dynamic folder command to,
	which allows you to add links to the popup menu without
	refreshing, this is done by having several folder groups in
	the popup, Applications Internet Utilities Multimedia
	Entertainment Control Panel Drives Please Note: Soft Shell
	2.1 is COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE with Soft Shell 1.0 so PLEASE
	don't try to extract it over your current version of Soft
	Shell To install fresh is no problem, just extract it to the
	theme to the following directory /LiteStep/themes/Soft Shell
	(Note* Make sure you use a space in the title Soft Shell) To
	make sure that everyone runs smoothly when you recycle, please
	read the ReadMe.txt right away. I hope everyone enjoys using
	it as much as I enjoyed creating it. As always please contact
	me , with questions and comments."

- Litestep.com gets a facelift

	I just shot over to ls.com to see if anything was being 
	done and lo and behold a new layout.  Seems as if WareWolf
	has done a major overhaul of the site and is trying to
	bring ls.com back from the dead.  Check it out and give him
	your rants/raves.

 Tips
 ----

- Want multiple .rc's but don't want to run the only beta build that has
  it?  Want to do on the fly macro editing of your step.rc to toggle
  comments?  Consider writing up a .bat file in conjunction with some
  command line programs.  Even if its not a direct command line 
  program, like UltraEdit, as long as it can take command line input, 
  you can automate repeat tasks with a minimum of programming
  knowledge.

	more to say on this other than it's a classic.
