3. Is there a way to install my forms as toolbars in an automated way?
I don't know but you might be able to with some experimentation as follows.
Make a copy of all the files in your config directory.
Create a new toolbar from a form.
Exit slickedit so your configuration gets saved or use the save-config command.
Diff the files in your config folder with the ones you previously saved to see what got changed as a result of the new toolbar.
Also, try copying all the files from your config folder except vslick.sta to a new empty folder (e.g. some-folder) and start slickedit with the -sc some-folder switch to make it use the new config folder and see if your toolbar turns up - if so, it means that the files such as vusrdefs.e and vusrobjs.e contail sufficient info to create the toolbar - if you figure out what and where that info is you might be able to create new toolbars by modifying those files and loading them.
Perhaps a long shot and a bit risky though.
