What's the previous cue command? I've been using the space bar as a "go" 
button, but I hadn't found the "back" button yet.

That's terrific, thanks. I had wondered what that drop down menu meant, but 
I hadn't found it in the documentation yet. "follow layer A" didn't really 
mean anything to me so I'd been ignoring that drop down for the moment.

I'll try it as soon as I get to the theatre. Which leads to my next, more 
wishful feature request. Is there any chance you might release a software 
emulator of the Lanbox?

What I mean is a Windows and/or Mac program with absolutely no user 
interface just a background program. The user would run it then run LCedit+ 
and configure LCedit+ to connect to the Lanbox on IP address 127.0.0.1 (the 
local machine). One could then restore a Lanbox backup onto this "virtual" 
Lanbox and continue editing. Then backup the "virtual" Lanbox and restore 
the files onto the real Lanbox at the theatre.

It sure would be nice to edit cues from home, but our theatre isn't likely 
to have Internet connectivity to our Lanbox even if we do eventually get 
Internet connectivity in the office.
