I understand, and now I'm glad the Lanbox goes through to the next cue 
if I press the spacebar during a fade, which lots of other DMX 
controllers don't . I've programmed pause fade and resume fade macro's 
and the combination of those two features makes a rate chase function 
not really neccessary. I realize there are many other ways to achieve 
what I want. It's most of the time being a bit creative, and not being 
afraid to do things different :-) (that's you talking, you know)
Can I copy macro's and keycommands to other projects BTW ?

Thanks again.
