run slick with no buffers open and the .command buffer gets opened

Run slick with no buffers and the .command buffer gets opened.
I can reproduce this but it might be unique to me.
Thanks for save-named-state etc.

We will need help to reproduce this for sure.

There was an issue with downloading beta 5 for 64-bit linux. Should work now.

Here's a link to the config that does it but I strongly recommend you don't spend any time on it, at least until I have some repro steps.

I've tried to create repro steps for this problem but haven't been able to.  I did discover a problem with importing options though.  I have mini-map turned off for all languages - if I export all options then import them into a new empty config, the minimap option in "all languages" gets turned on when it should be off.
The config folder at the link above still gives me the .command issue when I start slick with no buffers open.  It also still exhibits the issue I reported last year regarding slick jumping to the start of a buffer when I start slickedit.  Neither of these are problems - just letting you know.

Fixed exporting/importing of Show minimap setting for beta 6

I wasn't able to figure out why the .command buffer gets opened. It seems to have something to do with your macro changes. I was hoping I could reduce them down (only load some) but I got nowhere. You probably have a better understanding of your macros. I suspect it's a definit(), defload(), auto-restore hook, or some callback.

I've found if I close slick and delete vslick.sta then restart slick, the problem still happens so I'll try with some of my macros unloaded.  I suspect the GFileman macro as it shows ".command" as the active buffer when there are no buffers open  - but yesterday when I tried to get repro steps I was unable to make it happen.

You're correct - thanks :)  My xtemp-file-manager module is doing it in xtemp-list-maintain-callback.  I'll figure out why tomorrow.
