Check McFee is not blocking the program. You are doing thing right.

Both FastFox and Robotype use copy what you type from keyboard to clipboard. The program looks at the [Enter] KEY OR [spacebar] KEY hits and compares with database of your shortcut and swaps out the expantion if they match. Well Keylogger programs do the same thing but email what you type to the dark side. Are you using Norton Anti-virus and/ or firewall? Or Zone alarm? You may have to go to program setting and tell them they are to trusted. AKA your hacking your self. You may have to reload FastFox It may have taken out the "Keyloggerish" files in error. PS Norton Sucks Only the server version is any good. I'm replying to your discussion because you obviously know how to make the shorthand program work. I can't answer your questions at this time, but I have one of my own. I have added some shorthand words to FastFox, but nothing in expands, not even when I tried the QBF. I can't find in the manual how to do this. This must be a brand-new program, I figure. Can you help me? Thanks for any help you can give me. By the way, I have only installed the free trial, in case that makes a difference. Punkin

I wish it could use - or . like Robotype from PCMag does. Robotype does not work on VISTA or Macs, but works well with XP. It does not do back space but does do pompts. %PROMPT:Birthdate% Will open a pop up box in your text area of your expansion. also things like %longdate% puts in time date stamps. I use Robotype 3.0 on my XP machines and FastFox on Vista.
