We started by creating a shortcut for a folder and moving it up to the toolbar. We figured we might be better off if a button could open a Lister rather than a folder. How can we create a shortcut or a command to open up a Lister so we can use it as a button.

You can set your tabs, folders etc. as you want, save the layout under a specific name, like "special", then you can open that layout using
Prefs LAYOUT "special" LAYOUTCLOSELISTERS=yes

Finally got time to sit down with this. And it works a lot better than my plans. Thanks again.
