I would find it helpful to have a button for Tournaments under the Lobby and Tables buttons while I am playing in the Main Bridge Club. Many tournaments are advertised with very little lead time. This way I could monitor the tournament list and sign up when one comes up.

See the thread called Scripting in the BBO Support Forum, next forum down. I think it will do what you want. You create a palette of buttons. Push the appropriate one and your message appears.

Thanks gipper, I got it working ;D

When I played on OKbridge a number of years ago (btw BBO is a much more pleasant environment, thank you Fred et al), someone devised a program called OKScript whereby one could build a palette of buttons, each button representing a prepared comment or message. For example you could push a button to say "Welcome to our table" or another for "Thanks everyone, this will be my last hand" instead of typing the whole message each time you needed to use it. Similarly you could include in your palette buttons to explain alertable bids. In this way you would not have to type in the same explanation everytime you are asked to explain a bid, you simply push a button. This was very convenient for anyone playing a system with a lot of alertable bids. Is such a scripting program possible on BBO?
