But the command can't find an existing tab in a dest lister.
I tried swapping out the NEWTAB's with Go's but that didn't work. Of course. 
That's about the max of my scripting ability.
The go command has arguments to do that as well. Search the manual page for “existing” and you should find all the relevant ones. There are a few, depending on exactly what you need.
But the Dopus commands can't detect an existing tab if its not in the same lister; unless the word NEW is present (as far as I can tell). NEW will open a new window and NEWTAB is the same as the script.
This command will not detect an existing tab if that tab is in the destination lister:
Go "C:\Program Files" EXISTINGLISTER
There isn't anything that will go to the location in the same tab and can detect a destination tab.
Currently I get either / or.
I thought they could but, if not, it could be done easily enough using scripting.

It seems that I have a new friend.
Such as it is.
Me and my new friend developed a solution to my new tab problem.
Two script add-ins. The first finds existing and will open it in same tab. I created an Alt + 1 hotkey (for example). The second script does the same but opens in new tab. Hotkey is Ctrl + Alt + 1.
So when I've put these macros on my numpad with Corsair's iCue, Pushing the 1 key sends Alt + 1 to windows and Dopus executes the lister hotkey. I not only have my favorite folders on one-button speed dial, but I can hold the Ctrl and push the same button and it will open them in a new tab when desired.
First one (same tab)
GoExisting.js.txt (3.4 KB)
My hotkey command (For Alt + 1):
@keydown:none
GoExisting PATH "the\path"
@keydown:ctrl
GoExisting PATH "the\path" NEWTABFLAG=true
Second one (new tab)
GoNewTabForce.js.txt (739 Bytes)
My hotkey command (For Ctrl + Alt + 1)
@keydown:none
GoNewTabForce PATH "the\path"
@keydown:ctrl
GoNewTabForce PATH "the\path" NEWTABFLAG=true
So two hotkeys per number, all nine numpad numbers for nine favorite folders.
